In their upcoming rematch against the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers will rest several key players, including Donovan Mitchell (right ankle), Jarrett Allen (right knee), and Sam Merrill (left hamstring). This decision aligns with the team's strategy to maintain player health ahead of the playoffs, which begin next weekend. Allen has been dealing with pain since returning from a previous knee injury, while Merrill has faced multiple injuries this season. Despite the absences, the Cavaliers may still implement a competitive game plan. On a positive note, Jaylon Tyson has been upgraded to questionable and could return after missing a previous game due to conditioning issues. The Hawks will be nearly at full strength, with only Jock Landale sidelined due to a right high ankle sprain.
