Cavaliers not sitting anyone Friday on front end of back-to-back
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving, guard/forward J.R. Smith, forward LeBron James, forward/center Kevin Love and forward/center Tristan Thompson will start against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
What It Means:
The Cavaliers play again on Saturday as they host the Washington Wizards, so it's possible that the first unit is on restricted minutes ahead of tomorrow's contest. Head coach Tyronn Lue said Love is no longer limited on back-to-back sets, so it sounds like he'll be available for both.
numberFire's NBA Team Power Rankings currently have the Cavaliers in 7th place, making them only the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, behind the Toronto Raptors.
