The Rockets-Cavaliers NBA game will tip off as scheduled Tuesday evening, part of a Cleveland sports fan's downtown dream as the Indians also host a potential World Series clinching game, as well.
Rockets-Cavs is scheduled to start at 7:10 p.m. ET at Quicken Loans Arena with Game 6 between the Cubs and Indians set to begin slightly less than an hour later next door at Progressive Field.

As of late morning Monday, there was no plan to alter the start time of the NBA game to avoid potential conflicts.
Players share the same underground tunnel for access to both venues.
According to ESPN.com, the Rockets will receive a police escort to the Cleveland airport immediately after the game so they can get to New York, where they play the Knicks on Wednesday night.
The defending champion Cavaliers, who last season won Cleveland's first major professional championship since 1964, have been high-profile supporters of the Indians as they attempt to win their first World Series title since 1948.
