Cavs doing a decent job on Anthony Edwards, who has 13 for the Timberwolves. He’s 5-14 from the field, 0-3 from behind the arc. – 8:42 PM

And sounds like if any of Leonard, George, or Harden are active Saturday (and I bet at least one will be because of the Player Participation Policy) then Sunday vs Bucks could be another potential resting spot for them.
They’re all must wins. But Tuesday vs Timberwolves more so. – 8:34 PM

Darius Garland got rolling, and Ant appeared to do that thing where he just tells McDaniels he’s got him for the rest of the quarter. – 8:32 PM

From what I was told, #Cavs thinking behind starting Georges Niang and Dean Wade together, aside from the obvious spacing and shooting, was needing more size and length against the gigantic Timberwolves. Cavs thought it was better from a matchup standpoint to be bigger. – 8:12 PM

Not exactly breaking news: Anthony Edwards is a beast. He’s coming off a 44-point effort vs. Indiana last night. – 7:54 PM

Undersold part of last night’s win over the Pacers: Indy outshot the Wolves across the board. But the Wolves took 16 more shots thanks to 13 ORebs (6 from Gobert) and only 11 TOs. In a two-point game, that was massive. – 4:34 PM

Grayson Allen passed Larry Bird in three-pointers last night.
He’s now ahead of John Wall, Draymond Green, Caris LeVert and Chris Duhon too.
Just so you know. – 1:56 PM

Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable for tonight’s matchup in Cleveland (left ankle soreness).
He rolled his ankle at the start of their game over Indiana, before coming back to score 44 (and 16 in the 4th Q) in their win last night. – 1:51 PM
