The Cavs' 2022-23 home opener is here. It's also Donovan Mitchell's proper Cleveland home debut. (Sorry, preseason home games just don't hit the same.) ...
How that looks here could be a cypher — or at least the beginning one one — for what types of games Bickerstaff wants Lopez for. That bumped Dean Wade out of the rotation with Wade playing only in garbage time. With Kuzma in particular, this is likely to pull Evan Mobley out of the passing lanes and help defense. On the flip side: let’s see how Mobley looks inside against Kuzma. Kuzma and Kristaps Porzinigis are one of the stretchier frontcourts the Cavs will face, at least in terms of willingness to to shoot three-pointers. In three games against the Cavs last year, Kuzma was 9-19 from three, including a 6-9 performance in a three-point win on Nov.
The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Washington Wizards in their home opener Sunday night. What are the odds, who are the starters and what will happen?
The Cavs are on the second night of a back-to-back, and that’s the reason for concern here. The Cavs stay home for a little early-season break, with two full days off before hosting the feisty Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Even so, Donovan Mitchell is on an absolute tear right now, and Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will completely wall off the paint and force the Wizards to shoot. Add in Cavs-killer Kyle Kuzma, and the Cavaliers can’t take this game for granted. Now the Cavs race home for their home opener against the Washington Wizards. Donovan Mitchell became the first Cavs player in franchise history to open up a season with back-to-back 30-point games, and Cedi Osman continued his strong play off the bench.

J.B. Mitchell and Osman each have 13 points as the Cavs remain in the lead. However, they did close out the first 12 minutes on a 9-to-2 run so they are making things happen. Now they need to hold onto that lead in the fourth. Donovan Mitchell is once again making his presence known on the floor. It's time for the clutch-time Cavs to show up and put this game on ice. They have a 10-point lead and aren't forcing anything either. I have no idea how Robin Lopez got this to go in, but I'm not complaining. had seen enough and called an early timeout in the fourth quarter.
