CLEVELAND (AP) Kevin Love and Darius Garland scored 22 points apiece, and the Cleveland Cavaliers tied their franchise record with 46 points in the third quarter of a 144-99 rout over the COVID-19 depleted Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
OG Anunoby, and
Chris Boucher seem highly unlikely to suit up again this season, so the following names should be locked into big minutes for their final three games this year.
F Freddie Gillespie
Making his NBA debut just a month ago on April 10,
Freddie Gillespie has made the most of his limited minutes, and should now finally see playing time in the mid-20s or higher for these last few games. In a career-high 25 minutes last game, the rookie put up a solid across-the-board line of 10 points, 7 rebounds, an assist, a steal, and 3 blocks on 4-of-6 shooting. With 7 or more boards in each of his last three games despite not playing more than 25 minutes in any of them, and 6 blocks in his last four games, Gillespie should remain a strong source of rebounds, blocks, and efficient scoring down the stretch.
