The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards will play on Friday night. Cleveland, the best team in the NBA, will play a Washington team that currently holds the worst record in the league. Still, the Cavs will not overlook their opponent. Donovan Mitchell is dealing with an injury heading into the game, so will he be available on Friday night?

Donovan Mitchell scored a team-high 33 points, helping the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers earn a win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

The six-time All-Star has taken the Cavs to the top of the Eastern Conference standings, while also committing to the city with a new contract extension.

After missing the Cavs' last game, superstar guard Donovan Mitchell returns to the lineup against the Wizards.

The Cleveland Cavs and Boston Celtics meet in both an NBA playoff rematch from last year and a potential 2025 Eastern Conference Finals preview.

The Cleveland Cavaliers needed their win on Friday night. If they had been taken down by the Washington Wizards, everyone would be talking about how they were defeated by the worst team in the league.

The Washington Wizards are usually a very easy team to take down, but they have won three games in a row and might be on a little roll right now. Therefore, the Cleveland Cavaliers can’t march into Friday night’s game assuming they are going to win it.
