Head-to-Head Matchup
While the Wine & Gold may not own the same level of fire power as Warriors, Cleveland still has a few tricks up their sleeves and will look to play those cards at the right time on Wednesday night.
In fact, the Cavs are the much better bench team in this matchup, outscoring Golden State's reserves, 41.8-30.4. In terms of individual reserve players, Cleveland's Jordan Clarkson (16.2 ppg) is outscoring Golden State's top reserve, Quinn Cook (9.5 ppg).
The Wine & Gold will look to use their physicality on Wednesday. T.T. has notched 13 double-doubles this season and is averaging 11.5 boards per game while the Warriors starting center, Kevon Looney, is averaging under half that with 5.2 rpg.
The Cavs know that they're going to have to win in the trenches and pester the Warriors if they want to earn their second-straight win.
