The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards will play on Friday night. Cleveland, the best team in the NBA, will play a Washington team that currently holds the worst record in the league. Still, the Cavs will not overlook their opponent. Donovan Mitchell is dealing with an injury heading into the game, so will he be available on Friday night?

Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell benefited from the team returning the team to their winning ways after a rough patch. After enduring a three-game losing streak in the prior week, the Cavs went 4-0 from Jan.

Donovan Mitchell scored a team-high 33 points, helping the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers earn a win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

The Cleveland Cavaliers needed their win on Friday night. If they had been taken down by the Washington Wizards, everyone would be talking about how they were defeated by the worst team in the league.

With the NBA’s annual trade deadline in the rearview mirror, the Cleveland Cavaliers will sadly not see De’Andre Hunter make his debut against the Washington Wizards. However, the Cavs will see a welcome return to their lineup.

The Washington Wizards are usually a very easy team to take down, but they have won three games in a row and might be on a little roll right now. Therefore, the Cleveland Cavaliers can’t march into Friday night’s game assuming they are going to win it.
