Live Thread: Cavs @ Pelicans

If your Spida sense is tingling, Cavs fans, it’s because Donovan Mitchell is back for the Cavs. After sitting out for about a week after he received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to treat a bone bruise in his left knee. Evan Mobley, Wade, Strus, and Ty Jerome remain out. Ty’s been out so long that he automatically comes up as a suggestion when I’m typing out injured Cavs players.

For New Orleans, only Dyson Daniels is on the injured list. The 39-25 Pelicans are fifth in the west, west but are 4th in the whole association in net rating. Key to stopping them: getting good shots and closing out the three point line. New Orleans is the number one three point differential team in the association. Also, obviously for Cleveland, rebounding will be a focus. Let’s hope we see a good one, and go Cavs!
