The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without some key players when they take on the Golden State Warriors at home Thursday.
Wednesday night saw a shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers squad fall to the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. Now the Cavs return home to face the Golden State Warriors and again they will be down a few players.
Jarrett Allen, Lauri Markkanen, Evan Mobley, and Collin Sexton will again not be in the starting lineup for Cleveland. Lamar Stevens will also miss Thursday’s contest against Golden State.
#Cavs Jarrett Allen, Lauri Markkanen and Lamar Stevens remain OUT tonight vs. Golden State. Collin Sexton and Evan Mobley are also out, of course.

Even at full strength the Cavaliers would have a tough time against a resurgent Warriors squad. Now that they are missing several important players it will only make things that much more difficult to be competitive, much less win.
