Allen finished with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 112-110 overtime loss to Toronto in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Allen posted a playoff-high scoring figure in the loss. His 34 minutes also marked a series high, as Cleveland closed with a big lineup against the undersized Raptors. Allen's impact on the series has been sporadic thus far, having closed on only two occasions. In six appearances, he has averaged 9.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.4 combined steals and blocks.

Harden ended with 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 44 minutes during Friday's 112-110 overtime loss to the Raptors in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Harden fell just short of what would have been just his second triple-double of the season, and his first as a member of the Cavaliers. It continued what has been a solid playoff showing thus far for the veteran, as he's averaged 21.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.7 three-pointers per contest. With the series now locked at 3-3, Cleveland will return home for Game 7, where Toronto will be looking to ruin the homecoming.

Strus ended Friday's 112-110 overtime loss to the Raptors in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes.

Strus scored in single digits for the fifth time in the past six games. Despite starting the past two games, Strus has been unable to provide the team with anything of note, scoring a total of 14 points, including two three-pointers. Friday's loss means both teams will now head back to Cleveland for Game 7, with the winner advancing to face either Detroit or Orlando.

Da Silva posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and six rebounds over 23 minutes during Friday's 93-79 loss to the Pistons in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After barely featuring for much of the first-round series, da Silva logged 23 minutes Friday, scoring double-digit points for the first time in the playoffs. Although the second-year forward had a solid outing, Orlando is going to need a lot more from its stars and role players alike if it hopes to put an end to Detroit's season in Game 7 on Sunday. Through six games, da Silva has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game.

Carter recorded nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 93-79 loss to Detroit in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Carter scored just nine points for the second straight game as Orlando blew a 24-point lead and eventually fell by 14 points. Through six games, Carter's production has seemingly been a measuring stick for the Magic. In three wins, he has averaged 14.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. In three losses, his numbers have fallen to 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.

Robinson recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 93-79 victory over the Magic in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Robinson scored in double figures for the fourth time in the past five games, including a series-high four three-pointers. Despite trailing by as much as 24 points in the first half, the Pistons rallied to force a Game 7, which will take place in Detroit on Sunday. Although his production has been somewhat underwhelming, Robinson continues to provide the team with a viable floor-spacer, allowing players like Cade Cunningham to go to work inside.

Stewart accumulated no counting stats across eight minutes during Friday's 93-79 victory over Orlando in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Stewart played himself out of the rotation, logging just eight minutes in the first half. Paul Reed took his place in the second half, contributing to the come-from-behind victory. Although Stewart blocked a career-high eight shots in Game 4, it's been a relatively quiet series thus far. Through six games, he has averaged 4.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 15.5 minutes per contest.

Reed had six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks in 11 minutes during Friday's 93-79 victory over the Magic in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Reed moved back into the rotation, logging 11 minutes, the most he has played thus far in the playoffs. With Isaiah Stewart struggling to impact the game, Reed was thrown in, providing the team with his usual assortment of rebounds and defensive stats. The series is now tied at 3-3, with the two teams heading back to Detroit for Game 7.

Barnes finished with 25 points (11-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, 14 assists, three steals and three blocks across 48 minutes in Friday's 112-110 win over Cleveland in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Barnes nearly had a triple-double. However, despite falling short of that mark, it was still a solid effort from the 24-year-old, who also recorded three blocks for a third consecutive contest while adding three steals, his most so far this postseason. With Brandon Ingram (heel) and Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) both sidelined, Barnes stepped up to lead his squad to an overtime win to tie the series at three games each. Quickley won't suit up for Game 7 on Sunday. Although Ingram has a chance to return for that contest, Barnes should remain heavily involved on both ends of the floor, regardless.

Mobley notched 26 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 41 minutes in Friday's 112-110 overtime loss to the Raptors in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Mobley turned in an efficient performance en route to a game- and series-best 26 points, albeit in a losing effort. The big man has reached the 20-point mark in back-to-back games and in three of six first-round outings. He also grabbed a game- and series-high 14 rebounds, securing his first double-double of the 2026 postseason. Mobley and the Cavaliers will look to bounce back and keep their season alive in Sunday's Game 7 in Cleveland.
