Mobley recorded 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-11 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 win over the Pistons in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Mobley turned in yet another dominant performance, helping the Cavaliers to a comfortable victory in Game 7 against the Pistons. After an adequate regular season, Mobley appears to have saved his best for last, averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks thus far during the postseason. Both he and Jarrett Allen will need to be at their best when they come up against Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday in New York.

Allen ended with 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-13 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-94 win over the Pistons in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Allen delivered another dominant Game 7 performance, scoring a postseason-high 23 points. It continues what has been an impressive stretch of games for Allen, who's averaged 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.9 combined steals and blocks through 14 playoff appearances. Cleveland will now head to New York for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and Allen should continue to play a prominent role in the Cavaliers' fortunes.

Mitchell posted 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, one steal and a block in 31 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 win over the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Mitchell posted game highs in scoring and assists Sunday, helping power Cleveland to a Game 7 victory and a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. After the Cavaliers built a sizable 17-point halftime lead, Mitchell made sure Detroit never seriously threatened in the second half, erupting for 15 points in the third quarter to maintain momentum. His all-around offensive command stood out just as much as the scoring, as his game-high assist tally was achieved without a turnover.

Wade won't start Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.

Max Strus will get the starting nod in Sunday's do-or-die matchup, pushing Wade to the second unit. The 29-year-old forward has averaged 3.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per contest across six second-round appearances.

Robinson (back) is available for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Robinson has been dealing with a back injury of late, but he will be able to suit up Sunday. Robinson shifted to a reserve role for Game 6 after missing Game 5 due to injury, and he will come off the bench again for Game 7.

Strus will start Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.

Strus will get the starting nod over Dean Wade in Sunday's win-or-go-home matchup. Strus has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.2 minutes per contest over six second-round appearances.

Huerter (adductor) is available for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

Huerter will shed his questionable tag due to a lingering left adductor strain and suit up in Sunday's do-or-die matchup. The 27-year-old swingman has appeared in just one game during the second round of the postseason, logging three minutes in Wednesday's Game 5 loss before aggravating the adductor injury.

LeVert (heel) is available for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

LeVert was questionable ahead of Game 7 due to a heel injury, but he will be able to suit up for the win-or-go-home contest. He holds averages of 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.5 minutes per contest across six appearances this series.

Kornet is questionable for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder due to left foot soreness, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.

Kornet could miss his first game of the postseason due to a left foot issue. The big man saw a limited role in the team's second-round series outside of Game 4, during which Victor Wembanyama was ejected, as Kornet failed to surpass 15 minutes played in any of the other contests. Yet, his absence would be significant for the Spurs, and more playing time would be available for Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk to supplement Wembanyama if Kornet is ruled out.

Fox (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Fox is still dealing with right ankle soreness, though he has yet to miss a game this postseason. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to play Monday, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson would be candidates for expanded roles.
