With the absence of point guard Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers will look to pull an upset Monday night when they travel to face the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 pm ET.
Irving has not played since Nov. 21 with a finger injury and is expected to miss up to four weeks. Without Irving, rookie Dion Waiters has shouldered the bulk of the offensive load these past three games, scoring close to 20 points per game.
Anderson Varejao has also played well with Irving out, especially in the rebounding game where he has averaged close to 15 per game the last three games.
Meanwhile, Memphis fell just short of a franchise-record ninth consecutive win and lost for the first time in 16 regular-season contests at home last Monday, 97-92 to Denver. After getting a couple days off, the Grizzlies responded with a 106-98 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Forward Rudy Gay is averaging 20.1 points, 2.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds, while big man Zach Randolph has dominated the post with 16.7 points and 13.6 rebounds per game.
