Harden will look to keep up his strong start, but the Cavaliers will be without others with Dean Wade ruled out due to an ankle injury while Evan Mobley remains sidelined since suffering a calf strain on Jan. 26. Max Strus remains sidelined, though Wade’s absence is notable for the Cavaliers’ wing depth especially after dealing De’Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings ahead of the trade deadline. Cleveland will get back Jaylon Tyson and rookie Tyrese Proctor back on Wednesday, while Washington will have another body available.
