Cleveland: The Cavs have yet to issue an injury report for Thursday, but Kevin Love (conditioning), Collin Sexton (left knee), Jarrett Allen (illness), Evan Mobley (elbow) and Lauri Markkanen (health and safety protocol) all missed Wednesday’s game.

Advice and prediction
Steve Kerr says he’s hopeful Curry will play on Thursday after tweaking his hip against the Nets, so you may want to wait for an update after shootaround to get Curry’s latest status. Should he be out, this line should come down. Either way, I think the Warriors are in a great position to cover the spread. The Cavs are missing too many key players, and the Warriors’ defense should hold them under 100 points.
Prediction: Warriors 110, Cavs 97
