CLE: James Harden (Out)

Carrington faces a 27-minute projection with high blowout risk, likely limiting his output. The Wizards' poor defense and losing script may reduce his opportunities, especially in assists and threes, where his averages are near the lines.
Porter Jr. has a 26-minute projection with high blowout risk, capping his stats across the board. His season averages are below the lines for points, rebounds, and assists, and the Cavaliers' potential early lead could further reduce his usage.
Riley projects for 29 minutes but faces high blowout risk, likely limiting his production. His season averages for points, rebounds, and assists are below the lines, and recent performance shows only 2 of 5 games clearing his points line.
