Pacers vs. Cavaliers, Game 1: Game thread, lineups, odds, TV info and more

The Pacers and Cavs tip off the NBA playoffs with Game 1 of their first round series on Saturday afternoon.

The two teams had a double-OT thriller in Cleveland two weeks ago, with the Cavs pulling out all the stops to eventually pull out the win. LeBron James played 52 minutes in that game, Kyrie Irving played 47 minutes. Both Paul George and LeBron scored over 40 points, as Lance Stephenson made his season debut with the Pacers.

Yeah, it was fun. But now in the playoffs, the game is all business and the Pacers will have their hands full with playoff LeBron being rested and ready to go.
