The Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping to get their first look at James Harden in a Cleveland uniform on Saturday night, but we may have to wait, as he’s officially listed as questionable for this game.
We are, however, expecting a reunion of some sort. This game will be the first time De’Andre Hunter, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis face their former team. They were all part of a three-team deal that was completed just a week ago.

The Kings currently own the worst record in the league and will be on the second leg of a back-to-back.
