No Darius Garland, Caris LeVert or Rajon Rondo for the Cavs. The Wolves get Malik Beasley (12.0 ppg) back from a one-game absence. Minnesota leads the league in opponent turnovers per game (16.4). Those turnovers have led to 19.6 points off turnovers per game, leading the NBA. One would think the Cavs will be turning the ball over tonight minus those three guards.

The Cavaliers remain decimated at guard with Darius Garland (back), Caris LeVert (foot) and Rajon Rondo (toe) all out. Despite their blowout loss at the hands of the 76ers on Friday, the Timberwolves have been playing well lately, recently earning wins over the Grizzlies and Hornets. Even their loss against the 76ers had to be taken with a grain of salt since it was the second game of a back-to-back set. They are well rested and much healthier than the Cavaliers are, so I’ll take them to cover on the road.

Cleveland won't have either of its most impactful ball handlers for Monday's matchup against the Timberwolves. Darius Garland and Caris LeVert are out for a third straight contest. The Cavs are 7-6 straight up without Garland available but, none of those wins came against a team with a winning record. Cleveland's 26th-rated scoring offense is averaging 103.7 points per game without Garland this season. Minnesota's sixth-ranked scoring offense should be too much for the home team.
