Game 1 is Saturday at 6 p.m. in Cleveland.

Game 2 is Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., also at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Julius Randle, the Knicks leading scorer, is still considered questionable with an ankle injury.

Julius Randle didn’t practice in full today, did some parts of practice similar to yesterday, Tom Thibodeau said. Randle hasn’t taken contact yet. Seems like he hasn’t been cleared for it yet. Thibodeau again said Randle is making steady progress in return from ankle sprain.
