The 2020 NBA All-Star has missed the last 24 games, so this will be his 25th straight out of the starting lineup.   

Before the injury, Ingram had been in the middle of a phenomenal start to the season with averages of 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest.  

The former second-overall pick is also shooting 47.2% from the field and 46.7% from the three-point range. 

Despite his extended absence, the Pelicans have been one of the best teams in the NBA.  

They come into the day with a 26-17 record in 43 games, which has them as the third seed in the Western Conference.

Over the last ten games, the Pelicans are 5-5, and they are 9-12 in 21 games on the road away from Louisiana (17-5 at home).

Currently, they are 4.0 games behind Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets for the first seed. 

As for the Cavs, they are 27-17 in 44 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.

They are 5-5 in their last ten games but an outstanding 18-4 in the 22 games they have hosted in Ohio. 

This will be the first time the two teams have faced off during the 2022-23 NBA season.
