Kevin Love (back) ruled out for second half of Cavaliers' back-to-back
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will not play on Monday versus the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Love appeared to tweak his knee on Sunday in the front end of this back-to-back set, but a different ailment is the reason being provided for Monday's absence. Larry Nance (thumb) is also out, setting up Tristan Thompson for a significant role. Love figures to be back out there on Wednesday against the New York Knicks.
Love is averaging 37.9 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 19.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 3.1 3-pointers per game over the rest of the season.
