Donovan Mitchell is on the injury report for Tuesday's game.

UPDATE: Donovan Mitchell is available, according to Chris Fedor of cleveland.com

On Tuesday evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the New York Knicks in Ohio.  

They are coming off a 125-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night (at home). 

For Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks, the Cavs could remain without their best player, as Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable. 

Via Underdog NBA: "Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) listed questionable for Tuesday."

Chris Fedor of cleveland.com reported that Mitchell was at shootaround. 

Via Fedor: "#Cavs Donovan Mitchell is here at shootaround this morning."

Mitchell played in the team's first two games and has averages of 35.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest while shooting 54.2% from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range (he missed Saturday's loss to the Pacers). 

The Cavs have gone 1-2 in their first three games, and their one victory was against the Brooklyn Nets (114-113). 

Mitchell is in his second season with the Cavs and last year, he led them to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. 

They made the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season but lost to the Knicks in the first round (in five games). 

The Knicks enter the night with a 1-2 record in their first three games and are coming off a 96-87 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.    

After beating the Cavs (last season), they lost to the Miami Heat in the second round of the playoffs (in six games).  

Following Tuesday's game, the teams will face off again on Wednesday (in New York City).
