Cavs to Be Without Two of Their Top Players Monday Night as They Look to Match Franchise History

Who's Out

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without two of their top players, Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, when they take on the Toronto Raptors on Monday night.

Mitchell is out with a groin injury, and Garland is out with a thumb injury.

What This Means for the Cavs

The absence of Mitchell and Garland is a major blow to the Cavs, who are currently 22-14 and in third place in the Eastern Conference.

Mitchell is the Cavs' leading scorer, averaging 28.0 points per game, and Garland is the team's leading assist man, averaging 8.1 assists per game.

Can the Cavs Win Without Them?

The Cavs have a deep roster, and they have won games without Mitchell and Garland in the past.

However, they will be tested against the Raptors, who are 21-15 and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Looking Ahead

The Cavs will need to find a way to win without Mitchell and Garland if they want to match their franchise record of 23 consecutive wins.

The Cavs will also need to stay healthy, as they have a tough schedule coming up.

After the Raptors, the Cavs will play the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, and the Philadelphia 76ers.
