Please, blow them out and let's go on a streak to end the season(15+ game streak :o ).
Good assessment:

Ok mallet finger experts, can basketball be played by someone with this injury, or is this an out-for-weeks thing?

Lu Dort played through it so did Dirk.

Most can play through it per Cleveland Clinic. George Hill got surgery and missed 4 weeks.

Porzingis is out according to Cameron Tabatabaie. Kornet and Brown are still questionable.

At least KP has a good reason for not playing well vs Pistons. He's been sick all week.

We have enough even without Porzingis. Need vintage Horford.

A win by the Cavs would instill some confidence. Facing the cavs with Hunter as one of their new players.

If Cavs win tonight and they end up facing the Celtics in the playoffs, I got Celtics in 6 with a clinching win in Cleveland

Edit: in Boston

Celtics winning in 6 would have to be in Boston. We're not catching up to the Cavs in the standings.
