My story from earlier today on #Cavs broken offense and the numbers that illuminate just how much Donovan Mitchell is being limited by his bothersome knee. He has 1 (!!!!) dunk since the All-Star break.

James Harden will start today with Terance Mann, Paul George, PJ Tucker, Ivica Zubac vs Cavaliers
I am told that it is likely that Harden will rest in at least one game final week of season. Was a consideration today, but you know… James wants to play – 3:04 PM

On a busy hoops day, here are the NBA games to watch with playoff positioning for both teams at stake:
– Cavs-Clippers
– Heat-Pacers
– Pelicans-Suns
– Knicks-Bucks
– Wolves-Lakers
On a day when there are 13 games, only two – Blazers-Celtics & Raps-Wiz – are meaningless. – 2:55 PM

Despite #Cavs star guard Donovan Mitchell being out this afternoon against the Clippers, sources say Isaac Okoro will make his return from a four-game absence caused by a sore toe.

Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Isaac Okoro, listed as questionable, just wrapped up his workout and looked very much like a guy who is going to play today against the Clippers. – 2:13 PM

Janis Carr @janiscarr
Theis is OUT today. Harden still questionable. So far. – 1:54 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Clippers coach Ty Lue on what his level of concern is with Kawhi Leonard’s right knee inflammation : “I don’t have a level of concern.” – 1:51 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Ty Lue said he’s not sure if Kawhi Leonard will play Tuesday in Phoenix – 1:50 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Daniel Theis will play despite sprained thumb on non shooting hand, per T Lue – 1:49 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
James Harden is a game time decision today, per Tyronn Lue – 1:46 PM

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
James Harden (right foot soreness) and Daniel Theis (thumb) have been downgraded to questionable today against Cleveland. – 12:54 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
If James Harden misses today’s matinee game, that would clear a way for Russell Westbrook to start for the first time since November 14, and for the first time without Harden since November 1. – 12:53 PM

Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
No Donovan Mitchell for #Cavs today against the Clippers on the second day of a back to back and final game of this road trip. He is OUT for injury management related to his knee. Also, Isaac Okoro is QUESTIONABLE. – 12:43 PM

Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs
Finding his stride. 🎯

Donovan Mitchell isn’t Donovan Mitchell. Three times failing to crack the 100-point mark in two weeks. Four of their six worst offensive performances since the break. #Cavs offense looks broken. Can they fix it?
