The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> don\u2019t have much to play for at this time of the season. They\u2019ve secured home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs and don\u2019t have much of a chance of moving up from the fourth spot to the third with three games left in the season. As of now, that doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s going to deter the Cavs from trying to finish strong.<\/p>\n

The Cavs could have their full complement of players for Wednesday\u2019s game against the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, which could be a preview for their first-round matchup. Cleveland has no players on the injury report due to rest.<\/p>\n

That said, Donovan Mitchell could be missing the game with an ankle injury. He twisted his ankle late in the win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday and sat out against the Memphis Grizzlies the following evening. After Sunday\u2019s game, he told reporters that his ankle was fine and that it wasn\u2019t even worth asking him about. We\u2019ll see if he\u2019s able to go on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Cavs might be getting two key players back for Wednesday. Both Dean Wade (ankle) and Jaylon Tyson (toe) have been upgraded to questionable. Wade has missed the team\u2019s last seven games. Tyson has been absent for the last nine.<\/p>\n

Thomas Bryant will be missing this game with a calf strain.<\/p>\n

Unlike the Cavs, the Hawks do have something to play for. Three and a half games separate spots five through 10 in the Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks are likely to get the fifth seed, given they\u2019re a game and a half up on the Toronto Raptors<\/a>, but there\u2019s a chance that they could fall into the Play-In Tournament depending on how the final three games go.<\/p>\n

As such, Atlanta won\u2019t be resting any of their rotation players either. Jock Landale is the only player on a standard contract who will be missing Wednesday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers don\u2019t have much to play for at this time of the season.
