JR Smith (illness) will play for Cavs against Pelicans
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward J.R. Smith (illness) is good to go as the Cavs take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
The Cavaliers are still fighting with Philadelphia for the No. 3 seed, so they'll push for as many wins as possible. Smith had 19 points and 5 rebounds against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Our models project Smith for 22.8 minutes and 12.4 FanDuel points off the bench on Friday.
