Is Josh Hart playing tonight? Updated injury report for Knicks-Cavaliers Oct 28

The New York Knicks are coming off a 123-98 win over the team that eliminated them in the 2024 playoffs. On Monday night, the Knicks will host the team they eliminated in the 2023 playoffs.

Cleveland is 3-0 on the season, with wins over Toronto, Detroit, and Washington. The Cavaliers won all three games by double digits, with their 113-101 win over the Pistons being the closest. Playing New York will be Cleveland's first real test.

The Cavaliers finished No. 4 in the East last season and beat a young Magic squad in seven games in the first round before losing to the Celtics in the semifinals. Cleveland fired J.B. Bickerstaff and hired Kenny Atkinson, who used to be a Knicks assistant coach.

New York is without Mitchell Robinson, who won't play until January at the earliest. He dominated Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the 2023 postseason. Karl-Anthony Towns is the Knicks' new starting center, and Jericho Sims is the primary backup. Fans have called for rookie center Ariel Hukporti to receive minutes.

Seeing Tom Thibodeau's rotations, especially if the Knicks are without one of their key starters.
