Against NOLA, the Cavaliers were able to get another solid bench performance from Jordan Clarkson, who tallied a game-high 23 points and four rebounds in 24 minutes.

Over his last 12 games, J.C. is averaging 19.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.3 minutes per game (since December 12). On the season, Clarkson is averaging a career-high 16.9 ppg (third-highest among NBA bench players).
Tristan Thompson recorded his 16th double-double of the season with 10 points on 4-8 (.500) shooting and a team-high 11 rebounds in 26 minutes against the Pelicans. Thompson (549 GP) also passed Brad Daugherty (548 GP) for sole possession of the ninth-most games played in franchise history.
Two-way man Jalen Jones had one of his best games as a Cavalier, scoring a season-high 15 points on 7-13 (.538) shooting, five rebounds and a career-high three steals in 28 minutes as a reserve against New Orleans. It was his second double-digit scoring performance this season.
Turkish swingman Cedi Osman contributed 13 points, five assists and a career-high tying three steals in 33 minutes on Saturday. Osman has scored in double figures 24 times this season.
On Tuesday, Cleveland will eye their second straight win over an Indiana Pacers team that just had its six-game win streak snapped by the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
In that loss, the Pacers had all five starters score in double-digits, including Bojan Bogdanovic, who led his squad with 21 points. Domantas Sabonis tallied a double-double, posting 16 points and 11 boards in 31 minutes after being promoted to the starting lineup in wake of Myles Turner's shoulder injury.
With two games already in the books and another slated for Tuesday, the Cavs and Pacers will wrap up their regular season series next month on February 9 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
