Evan Mobley’s box score line tells part of the story. But his true value was found in the decisions Indiana didn’t make.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NBA Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley and All-Star guard Darius Garland are back in the starting lineup for the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. Key backup De’Andre Hunter also is active after missing Game 2 with a sprained right thumb.

"They all touched the ball," Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters after practice Thursday. "They all got some reps up. But we didn't do anything live. They kind of participated in the walkthrough. Hoping for the best."
