The Cavaliers have moved up the start of Tuesday’s game against the Houston Rockets to 6 p.m. EDT to minimize any conflict with the Indians’ Game 6 of the World Series. Gates will open to fans at 4:30 p.m. and the Cavs are hoping their game will be over around the second inning.

That’s a good thing because the Cavs players are hoping to walk across the plaza after their game in hopes of watching the Indians win the series.

“It’ll be an experience of a lifetime,” Kyrie Irving said. “Game 6 of the World Series, man, hoo, that’s big time. I’m excited for them. I know the city is. I’m happy our game got moved up. I don’t mind moving it for the World Series at all. It’ll be an exciting time. Hopefully we can get a suite and we can walk over there as a team and watch our home team go for a championship as well.”
