I expect the Cavs to come out desperate in game five and get Mitchell involved early. Mitchell averaged 16 points per game in the two losses in New York and shot just 37% from the floor. With an extra day's rest, I expect Mitchell and company to go right after the Knicks and force the issue to get to the free-throw line. The Cavs will also try to get forward Danny Green going off the bench to give the Cavs some extra production. With Julius Randle still banged up with a sore ankle and disgruntled, expect the Knicks to use him selectively with game 6 back at MSG.
