The Cavs will be without Max Strus and Evan Mobley. James Harden is questionable.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs LA Clippers Prediction

This is a tough game to cap because I have no idea if Garland and Harden will be cleared in time to play. It sometimes takes a day or two for newly traded players to suit up for their new teams. If Harden plays, I’d lean Cavs. It feels like Harden demanded a trade after being denied a new contract, and that should create motivation in this spot. Garland should feel disrespected by being traded for somebody 10 years older than him, but it’s probably going to take longer to get adjusted. A backcourt of Mitchell and Harden doesn’t have to think as much. They can just go crazy with the rock. The Cavs are also playing their best ball of the season. We’re laying a bucket. Give me the Cavaliers.
