Jarrett Allen back next week?
Cavs center Jarrett Allen is taking positive steps in his recovery from a right eye contusion and there is hope of a return this coming week for at least one of the games in Brooklyn when the Cavs travel there for a two-game series, sources tell cleveland.com. Since getting raked across the right eye by Bam Adebayo in Cleveland’s 119-115 loss to the Miami Heat last week — a scary moment late in the game that caused swelling and bruising and led to Allen’s eye being bloodshot — he has seen multiple specialists who have ruled out any structural damage even though sources say his vision is a bit blurry.

Sixers 29, Cavs 24 at the end of the first. Sixers shot 8-of-14 from the field an 10-of-11 from the FT line, but had seven turnovers. Embiid already has 15 points and 7 boards while playing against the Jarrett Allen-less Cavs. – 8:16 PM

Sixers can set their floor at the 3 seed tonight. This game is for the tiebreaker. No Jarrett Allen (struggles against Embiid, but good player) and Cavs are on a back-to-back.
Even with a win, Cavs would still have work to do. But if they lose, Sixers would be hard to catch. – 7:37 PM
