The Cleveland Cavaliers have recently lacked the depth that helped them get off to a positive start this season. While they actively seek a suitor for Andre Drummond, the franchise have chosen to sit the center.
At the time of writing, there is no up-to-date information regarding the Cavs lineup for Saturday. Kevin Love is expected to be sidelined as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Fellow forward Larry Nance Jr. might also be unavailable, despite being able to complete prematch drills with his finger no longer in a cast, prior to the game against Houston.
Matthew Dellavedova is expected to be out for some time after having his appendix removed, while Taurean Prince has currently been listed as day-to-day.
