Live Thread: Pistons @ Cavs
Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Detroit Pistons to the shores of Lake Erie for a classic Central Division showdown, a game that will be made much harder to win for the Cavs given the breaking injury/rest news:
#Cavs Donovan Mitchell (groin soreness) and Darius Garland (thumb soreness) are both OUT tonight against Detroit, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. Raul Neto and Caris LeVert will be stepping into the starting lineup, sources say.

Ironically, the Cavs played without both DG and Spida and blew out Detroit in their first matchup of the season 112-88. But in that game NBA Champion Kevin Love played an instrumental part (21 points, 10 rebounds, +30 plus/minus in 23 minutes) especially on the offensive side to help win that game. Perhaps KLOVE will make a return? Stay tuned.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
