The Cavs might once again be without their two star guards.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to snap their two-game losing streak as they finish off their three-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon.
Cleveland has lost their last two games without the services of either Donovan Mitchell (groin) or James Harden (thumb). They will still be without Mitchell, but Harden could be making his return to the lineup.
The Nets are a good team to break a losing streak against. They’ve lost seven in a row and have made it clear that they aren’t trying to win games at this point in the season. We’ll see if the Cavs can take advantage of that.
