After missing Game 2 with a lingering ankle injury, Evan Mobley was a menace in Game 3.
The newly minted Defensive Player of the Year proved to be a game-changer, blocking three shots and adding three steals.
Mobley also helped the Cavaliers dominate the boards against the small-ball Pacers, grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds while Cleveland won the rebounding battle, 56-37.
They held the Pacers, who had been lighting it up offensively, to just 104 points, the 2nd-fewest they’ve scored during this playoff run.

The play: Cavaliers -4.5 (-110, BetMGM Sportsbook)
