Ricky Rubio resting Friday for Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio (left knee injury management) has been ruled out for Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Rubio is going to rest for the first leg of a back-to-back as the Cavaliers continue to ease him back from a torn ACL. He is averaging 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.0 3-pointers in 13.0 minutes through four games. Raul Neto figures to see an uptick in playing time on Friday with Rubio sidelined.

The Warriors are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to point guards this season, but Friday night's matchup has the second-lowest over/under (225.0) out of the nine games being played.
