We present molecular gas reservoirs of 18 galaxies associated with the XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 cluster at z = 1.46. From Band 7 and Band 3 data of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we detect dust continuum emission at 870 µm and the CO J = 2-1 emission line from 8 and 17 member galaxies, respectively, within a clustercentric radius of R₂₀₀. The molecular gas masses derived from the CO and/or dust continuum luminosities show that the fraction of molecular gas mass and the depletion timescale for the cluster galaxies are larger than expected from the scaling relations of molecular gas on stellar mass and offset from the main sequence of star-forming galaxies in general fields. The galaxies closer to the cluster center in terms of both projected position and accretion phase seem to show a larger deviation from the scaling relations. We speculate that the environment of the galaxy cluster helps feed the gas through inflow to the member galaxies and reduce the efficiency of star formation. The stacked Band 3 spectrum of 12 quiescent galaxies with M_stellar ∼ 10¹¹ M_☉ within 0.5R₂₀₀ shows no detection of a CO emission line, giving the upper limit of molecular gas mass and molecular gas fraction to be <=10¹⁰ M_☉ and <=10%, respectively. Therefore, the massive galaxies in the cluster core quench the star formation activity while consuming most of the gas reservoirs.
