Beat up Cavs, Grizzlies square off in Memphis

A depleted Cleveland Cavaliers team nears the end of its longest road swing of the season when it visits Memphis on Thursday for a matchup with the equally injury-plagued Grizzlies.

Memphis, which is playing its third of four straight home games, welcomes a Cleveland team on its fifth straight road contest and second in as many nights. The Cavaliers dropped a 105-94 decision in Orlando on Wednesday, playing without guards Darius Garland, Dante Exum (calf), Matthew Dellavedova (concussion), Dylan Windler (hand) and forward Kevin Love (calf).

Garland was the latest scratch to the already ailing Cavaliers, sustaining a shoulder injury that the team announced Wednesday could hold him out a week.
