What channel is Cavs vs. Pacers on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch Game 2 of NBA Playoffs series

The 2025 NBA Playoffs have reached the conference semifinal stage. Eight of the NBA's best teams will go toe-to-toe in hopes of reaching the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. Among Tuesday's slate is Game 2 of the Cavaliers-Pacers series.

Game 1 went to Indiana thanks in part to another double-double performance from Tyrese Haliburton, who scored 22 points and recorded 13 assists. The dynamic guard was also the catalyst of a late 15-4 run from the Pacers that sealed the game.

The Cavaliers had a tough time contending with Indiana's pace, especially without point guard Darius Garland, who is still nursing a sprained toe. Cleveland also struggled from beyond the arch, shooting just 23.7 percent from three-point range.

Still, Cleveland managed to get some strong performances despite the loss. Donovan Mitchell scored 33 points, good enough to break Michael Jordan's record for most consecutive playoff games with 30 or more points (eight). Evan Mobley recorded 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Here's what you need to know about Tuesday's matchup between the Cavaliers and the Pacers, including the broadcast information and start time.
