What happened

Cleveland visits New York on Wednesday with Sam Merrill out, Jaylon Tyson questionable, and Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Khalifa Diop, and Ernest Udeh Jr. unavailable.

The Knicks enter the second night of a back-to-back after hosting Milwaukee, and the preview lists expected starters for both teams.

LINEUP CONTEXT
