With the series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers tied at two games apiece, Game 5 could be the decisive turning point.

Unfortunately for the reigning conference finalists, the Cavs are without usual starting point guard George Hill for the second straight game. The veteran floor general was ruled out with back spasms.

In the first three games of the series, Hill averaged 8.7 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 rebounds per game. Starting in Hill's place for Game 4, Jose Calderon recorded five points, two assists, and two rebounds in just under 20 minutes. The Spaniard started once again in Game 5.
