No Mitchell tonight, due to rest.

Mobley is probable but was on Friday before the late scratch.

Hornets are a young hungry team, Allen still playing through that lower leg injury. Won't have either of our shooters in Merrill and Strus.

Okoro will get the nod for Strus. If Mobley late scratches again, looks like Niang would start again. I wonder who fills in for Mitchell, maybe Levert?

I like going Jerome over Caris here.

I assume with this, it means we will see more CPJ run tonight and I like the CPJ LeVert combo over the CPJ Jerome line-up personally.

These are some of my favorite games bc we get to see a lot of unique line-ups and watch our bench with extended minutes.

TJ is quite the facilitator and pocket picker, he can also stroke it from deep.

Keeps Caris in the super sub role too.

Hornets just tried to attack Mobley one-on-one twice in the same possession. You can guess how that went

Miles Bridges is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. I'm not convinced he's that much better than Niang.

Cavaliers just came out of a timeout in a box-and-one with Garland on LaMelo. Pretty cool. So far only that possession.

Okoro has a left ankle strain and is a questionable return. Wade just rolled his ankle so I assume he's out at least the rest of the game. He looked to be in a decent amount of pain.

Wade was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and won't return.

A little concerning, Garland has been reaching for his back earlier in the game and I didn't make much of it. He's now using one of those back braces while on the bench.

Losing both our wing defenders to ankle injuries isn't good. This win streak is starting to wear on em.

Are we going to need to put Tyson in?

Well, despite all the knocks the Cavaliers keep rolling. Garland was still great in the clutch and Ty Jerome stepped up big time to help us beat these Hornets.

I kind of hate this version of the Hornets. I was in a thread on the GB playing devil's advocate for the current state of the NBA and the Hornets do me no favors. They are fast paced, but predictable. I like Brandon Miller a lot tho

Kenny seemed to say Garland was fine in the postgame presser. Just natural wear-and-tear.

I lowkey expect Garland to get the night off against the Pels, but we will see. Allen and Garland are due a day off.

No news on Okoro or Wade on the extent of their injuries.

CPJ plays hard, but the sooner Strus comes back, the better.
