Orlando Magic starting guard Gary Harris is available to play in Sunday's decisive Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers, coach Jamahl Mosley said.

Harris sat out Orlando's 103-96 victory over Cleveland in Game 6 on Friday due to a right hamstring strain. He sustained the injury in the Magic's 104-103 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Harris, 29, has averages of 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in five games during the series.

Like Harris, Cleveland All-Star center Jarrett Allen had been listed as questionable on the NBA injury report. Allen, however, was ruled out approximately 30 minutes before tipoff.

Allen, 26, sat out the past two games due to a rib contusion. He averaged 17.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in the first four games of the series.

The winner of Sunday's game will face the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals.
