Pregame: Pacers at Cavs
Indiana Pacers (3-4) at Cleveland Cavaliers (4-4)
7:30 p.m., WTAM/FS Ohio
Cavs probable starters: PG Ramon Sessions, SG Anthony Parker, SF Jamario Moon, PF J.J. Hickson, C Anderson Varejao
Pacers probable starters: PG Darren Collison, SG Mike Dunleavy, SF Danny Granger, PF Josh McRoberts, C Roy Hibbert
Officials: Joey Crawford, Karl Lane, Tom Washington
Injury report: Cavs -- Mo Williams (groin) questionable, Anderson Varejao (ribs) questionable; Pacers -- Jeff Foster (sprained right ankle) out.
NOTES
* Both Mo Williams and Anderson Varejao remain questionable for tonight. Byron Scott said he's approaching the game as if neither is available, then if one or both can play it will be a bonus.
* It still seems hard to believe that Williams would play tonight, but Scott said he's feeling better today. Of the two, it seems Varejao has a better chance at playing.
* The Cavaliers have struggled rebounding at times this season and losing Varejao would be crushing. Particularly since Pacers center Roy Hibbert continues to improve. Hibbert scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds against the Yao-less Rockets. He's averaging 16.1 points and 9.1 rebounds in his third season in the league.
* The Pacers are coming off a back-to-back after losing at home Friday to the Houston Rockets. The Pacers led 87-82 early in the fourth quarter, but the Rockets scored 18 of the game's next 25 points. They never trailed again.
