Caris LeVert Might Miss Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night versus Detroit because of a left elbow sprain.

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Versus The Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Knicks.

The 27-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Friday night versus […]

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. After a monster double-slate return to form in the NBA yesterday, the scheduling gods have saddled us with a weak three-gamer on a Saturday.
