It’s extremely rare during the grind of an NBA season to be playing one game in an eight-day span. But this, again, is no ordinary NBA season. And the Cavaliers – who are playing that single game on Wednesday night in Beantown and won't play again until Sunday – look to run their win streak to seven.
Cleveland’s last two wins of their six-game run have come against teams struggling to field their regular roster due to the COVID outbreak – and tonight the Wine & Gold will face that test.
Already down Isaac Okoro and Evan Mobley – who were placed in the league’s health and safety protocol last weekend – they were recently joined by teammates Jarrett Allen, Lamar Stevens, Dylan Windler, Denzel Valentine, Ed Davis and RJ Nembhard.
