Kevin Love Plays Another Solid Game
7 years agoCleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love ended with another double-double in his team's victory over the Raptors, who have been the first seed in the East for quite some time now. Love had 18 points on eight shots to go with his 15 boards, one assist and one steal. He had no turnovers and shot an amazing 4-for-6 from behind the arc, leading to a positive-18 plus/minus. Next up, Love and the Cavs play the Wizards in a potential Eastern Conference playoff preview. Over the last 10 games, the Wizards have been among the 10 worst teams defensively against opposing centers and pretty average defensively against power forwards. So depending on where Love gets his minutes Thursday, he may be a strong play based on opposing defensive statistics or just an average play against a strong center like Marcin Gortat.

He's also averaging career lows in points with 5.5, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic will continue to get most of the work moving forward, coming off the bench.
