Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs Injury Report
The big injury news from the Cleveland Cavaliers is the status of Donovan Mitchell. The explosive SG is dealing with a lower leg issue and is questionable for this contest. If Donovan Mitchell cannot play, it could hamper the Cavaliers' offense significantly.
Cavaliers big man Kevin Love is dealing with a back issue. Back injuries can be tricky, and their timelines are shaky. Love is questionable for tonight's action, so don't be surprised if he's out.
The Cavaliers are a bit thin at the PF position as Dean Wade remains out with a shoulder injury. They have provided recent updates on PG Ricky Rubio and SG Dylan Windler. Rubio is doing 5-on-5 work but is not ready to return to full-time action, while Windler is doing some on-court work, but it's limited. Both guards remain out for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, the big news for the San Antonio Spurs is that C Jakob Poeltl will miss Monday night's action with a knee injury. It's a loss for the Spurs, who are relatively thin along the frontcourt. SF Keita Bates-Diop will miss Monday night's game with an injured foot. Jeremy Sochan is dealing with a quad issue and is questionable heading into Monday night.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a better team than the San Antonio Spurs. This line is hesitant, given the uncertainty surrounding the availability of SG Donovan Mitchell. If Mitchell suits up, the Cavaliers could blow the Spurs out of the water. Even if Mitchell cannot go, the Cavaliers have too much balance for the Spurs to deal with. The Cleveland Cavaliers should pull away in this one.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5 (-110) 219 O/U
