The Cavs enter the May 6 game at home with guard Darius Garland (big toe sprain), forward Evan Mobley (left ankle sprain) and forward De'Andre Hunter (dislocated thumb) all questionable.
Garland and Mobley, both NBA All-Stars this season, are starters and Hunter is one of the league's top players coming off the bench.
Garland's toe injury has kept him out of Cleveland's last three playoff games. He suffered the injury during the regular season and aggravated it in Game 2 of Cleveland's first-round series against the Heat. Garland was idle in Games 3 and 4 when the Cavs swept the Miami Heat 4-0.
Sam Merrill started in Garland's place in both of those games against Miami and in Cleveland's Game 1 loss to the Pacers on May 4.
