Team Total Play for Friday The Cavaliers are the worst three point defensive team in the league while the Warriors are the best at hitting the long ball. The Cavaliers just announced that Anderson Varejao will not be playing tonight. That leaves Cleveland without a defensive force down low. Look for Golden State to light it up tonight against the limited Cavs squad.
Play Golden State points over as a 3* selection.
Here is an article explaining the situation.
Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao was sporting a walking boot on his sprained right ankle at shootaround for tonight's game against Golden State. He is out indefinitely after turning his ankle during a post-practice running drill, the latest injury for a team that can ill afford another.
Daniel Gibson (sprained left ankle) and Leon Powe (bruised right knee) aren't even with the team. Anthony Parker (back) and Joey Graham (right quad) are out.
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott has yet to determine a starting lineup for tonight's game against Golden State, but he said he likely would go with regular starters Mo Williams at point guard and Antawn Jamison at power foward, along with Ryan Hollins at center, Manny Harris at shooting guard and Alonzo Gee or Christian Eyenga at small forward. Rookie Samardo Samuels likely will see a lot of time at backup center.
