The Golden State Warriors were outplayed in their last game, as they couldn’t overcome the offensive firepower of the Brooklyn Nets. Their struggles against teams with a positive record continued as they lost their ninth game against a team with a record above .500.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were worse off as the LA Clippers steamrolled past them in their last game. Their massive downfall this month has been amazing, given that they weren’t even missing their biggest stars.

The Warriors face off against the Cavaliers tonight at 10 PM EST. Before that, we’ll take a look at the predicted lineups and the injury updates.

Cleveland Cavaliers injury updates and lineup prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered their seventh loss in a row as the Clippers beat them 128-111. With their latest loss, the Cavaliers have an overall record of 10 wins and 18 losses and are the 13th seed in the Conference.

The Cavaliers have some injury concerns as their forward Kevin Love is sidelined with a calf injury. Their veteran guard Matthew Dellavedova was also out against the Clippers with a back injury, and forward Larry Nance Jr. is also sidelined with a finger injury.

The Cavs have been in dreadful form recently, and they will have to be at their best if they want to pull off an upset win against the Warriors.

Golden State Warriors- Injury updates and lineup prediction

The Warriors’ defensive frailties were on full display when the team faced the explosive Brooklyn Nets who beat them 134-117. The Dubs did not have an answer to the magnificent passing of James Harden and had a hard time containing Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant as well.

Playing with a make shift center in Draymond Green meant other players had to step up at the defensive end, but unfortunately, it was not enough. The Warriors now have a record 14 wins and 13 losses but are still at the eighth spot of the Western Conference.

For the next game against the Cavs, the Warriors will be missing some key players due to injuries. Apart from the longtime injuries to Klay Thompson, Alen Samilagic, and Marquese Chriss, the Warriors will also miss their rookie James Wiseman with a wrist injury. Even backup center Kevon Looney is sidelined with an ankle injury.

The Warriors face a Cavs team who have been in dreadful form recently. It will be the perfect opportunity for them to come back to winning ways.

Predictions

The Golden State Warriors might have suffered from a crushing loss against the Nets but still saw encouraging performances from Steph Curry and Co. offensively. Given the red-hot form Curry is in, the Dubs are the favorites against the Cavs and will have a routine win.
