The Cavs are expected to play their starters more than they did in Sunday's game. Then, the regular rotation played through the third quarter before the two-ways and the Exhibit 10 contract players got their shot. Tonight, I'd expect the starters to go into the fourth.
Head coach Kenny Atkinson has talked about wanting to find lineup combinations that work in these preseason games. That would be one thing to keep an eye on in this contest. Particularly, how they split up the core four between Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen with the bench units.
