Game 64 Wolves @ Cavs 3-8-24 44-19
Morris is questionable with hamstring soreness. If Monte is out JMAC might get some run.

If he’s healthy. He’s missed the last few games with “illness”.

He was available tonight, but you are correct that he was on the injury report. I really hope Monte is okay. It would be very tough to lose another rotation player right now.

cavs are without Mobley, Mitchel and Strus. This is a must win game for us considering also that our next 2 games are vs Lakers and Clippers

Is Ant going to play? This is a very winnable game but being the 4th b-2-b in two weeks. Make it a schedule loss may not be too bad.

New injury report is out. Ant is questionable with ankle soreness. JMAC is questionable with an illness. Morris is out with hamstring soreness.

If Ant plays we are likely to win. If he doesn't considering it's a road game I think we're a slight underdog.

No Ant, KAT, or Morris on a back end of a back to back, I just don’t see it. If Ant does play our odds are better. That said, I don’t want to risk Ant on a regular season game if he isn’t up for it.

Looks like Cavs are also missing key players...Mitchell, Mobley, Struss are all out. They did beat Celtics few days back though without Mitchell, Struss

We are coming off a road win last night, they had the night off. Our game was high drama, high emotion, and big minutes for key guys. This might be the hardest game all year. I might not even play Ant, Mike, or Rudy. Literally go full G league and see what we can do.
My purposed starting 5 JMAC/NAW/Jaden/Kyle/Naz
Bench 5 Nix/Minott/Warren/Miller/Garza.
WMJ is player 11.

Ant is a warrior if he is able to walk he’ll play for sure

Fair. But what concerns me is in a compromised state he is more likely to get injured in a way that he then cannot walk. Or more precisely, if we burn Ant out now, we might not have him or Karl for the first playoff series.

Let's assume we are missing KAT/ANT/Morris. They're missing Mitchell, Mobley and Strus. Those pretty much cancel out. I just think the Cavs would be slight favorites due to it being a home game.

I don’t know that Warren is up to speed enough to contribute much. JMAC is sick and hasn’t played much recently. Also we are on the back end of a road back to back. I think you might be asking too much of the above rotation. But with solid defense, and a 30 point Jaden night, maybe we could pull out a close one.

Re: Game 64 Wolves @ Cavs 3-8-24 44-19
You misunderstood. The question isn’t whether Ant can play. The question is whether he should? If Ant further aggravates any of his existing injuries, we could lose him for the playoffs. Same thing with pushing Mike too hard (30:22 last night,) it Rudy too hard (39:41) last night.)

I'd almost like to see ant sit for no other reason than for the rest of the guys to get that "no for real, y'all are gonna have to do more". Let Naz and Jaden try to carry the offense. We'd lose, but a valuable lesson will have been learned.

Depends on if Ant is sore or injured.
If he's sore, he's not any more likely to hurt himself further. If he's injured, then maybe there is a chance he could do more damage.

That ankle keeps rolling. Sooner or later it will be damaged. He should rest it while he can.
