Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup for the season opener against the New York Knicks features Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. With Darius Garland sidelined due to a toe injury, Jaylon Tyson steps in as a starter. This configuration is likely to see Mitchell taking on a larger role in the absence of Garland, potentially increasing his usage during the game.
