Cavaliers vs. Wizards gamethread
Mar 17, 2023 - 11:00 PMHappy St. Patrick’s Day! If you partake, enjoy a Guinness.
Thought Mike Anguliano hit on a key thing in his game preview earlier today:
With no Jarrett Allen once again, and Porzingis being a perimeter threat with a 37.7% shooting average from deep, Evan Mobley will be tasked with covering the Latvian. Mobley is certainly capable, as he is an elite defender both on the inside and the perimeter, but the Cavs have famously this season had issues defending the three. Stretchy bigs space the floor, and the Wizards have another deadline shooter in Bradley Beal to contend with. Porzingis will certainly test Cleveland’s defense. Who: Cleveland Cavaliers (44-28) vs. Washington Wizards (32-37)
Where: Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse — Cleveland, Ohio
When: 7:30 p.m. EST
TV: Bally Sports Ohio, NBCS-DC+
