The Cleveland Cavaliers had one of their best wins of the season as they held the New York Knicks to under 100 points on Tuesday. Many of the players who contributed to that win won’t be available for their game the following evening against the Milwaukee Bucks.
In total, Cleveland will be without at least two starters from yesterday’s win and could be down three. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley will both be held out of Wednesday’s game.
Mitchell is listed as being out with a right groin strain. Mobley is out due to maintenance from the left calf injury that kept him out for several weeks starting at the end of January.

The Cavs might also be without the services of James Harden. The team announced that he suffered a broken right thumb during the win over the Knicks, but might not miss any time. He’s officially listed as questionable for the game.
Additionally, the Cavs will also be without Max Strus (foot), who’s yet to play this season. Their three two-way players — Darius Brown, Tristan Enaruna, and Riley Minix — are also unavailable.
If Harden isn’t able to go, the Cavs could be left with a projected starting lineup of Dennis Schroder, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade, and Jarrett Allen.
The Bucks will still be without the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo who will be missing this game with a calf strain. Taurean Prince (neck surgery) and Alex Antetokounmpo (G League) will also be held out of this game.
