CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Thanks to the Indians and the World Series, LeBron James and the Cavs will get their 2016 championship rings 30 minutes earlier Tuesday night.

The Cavs' season-opening game against the New York Knicks at The Q was moved up to 7:30 p.m. because of Game 1 of the World Series, which the Indians are hosting at Progressive Field at 8. The Cavs-Knicks tilt was supposed to start then.

The ring ceremony and hanging of the Cavs' first NBA championship banner will begin at 7. Doors for The Q open at 5 and fans are urged to find their seats at 6:45.

"I'll have to leave to go the game at noon," Cavs forward Kevin Love said. "After shootaround, go straight to the arena."

The game is being televised nationally on TNT. The cable network's famous NBA pregame show, featuring Charles Barkley, will broadcast live from a parking lot across from The Q, and there's a concert featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa there.

The Cavs and Indians are encouraging fans to arrive early, to carpool, and take the RTA downtown, as parking will be limited around Gateway District.

"It's going to be great," James said. "Like I said from a fan's perspective, is there any better way? I don't know, having an ice cream truck outside of both arenas at the same time as well -- the icing on the cake. It's great. We get to host the World Series and we get our rings on the same night at the same time. If we had a retractable roof it would be probably the loudest we ever heard, so it's pretty special."
