They need to make the most of their opportunities at the free throw line if they want to beat the Warriors in their home court.
Injury Report: Donovan Mitchell SG (Groin) is questionable. Dylan Windler SG (Ankle) and Dean Wade SF (Shoulder) are out.
Donovan Mitchell’s groin injury has made his status uncertain for Friday’s matchup with the Warriors.
Mitchell’s Friday status of “questionable” is an improvement over the questionable designation he received on Wednesday. If LeVert is unable to suit up for the Cavaliers again, Caris LeVert could take his place in the starting lineup.
The Warriors are feeling confident coming into this game after their recent 127-118 win over the Washington Wizards. They played the Boston Celtics in a tough game on Thursday night. The Warriors need to maintain their strong defensive play if they hope to keep the score close.
Injury Report: Andre Iguodala SG (Hip), JaMychal Green PF (Infection), James Wiseman C (Ankle), and Jonathan Kuminga PF (Foot) are out.
C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Andre Iguodala (hip) will not play Thursday against the Celtics. So, the veteran forward probably won’t play today because Thursday’s game is the first of a back-to-back set.
