Cavs fighting through backcourt injuries, face Hornets

The ailing Cleveland Cavaliers have four setbacks in their past five contests heading into Wednesday night's home game against the Charlotte Hornets.

With three point guards out of action recently, only All-Star Darius Garland (bone bruise in lower back) is back to day-to-day status. Caris LeVert(sprained foot) and Rajon Rondo (sprained big toe) remain unavailable.

The Cavs are coming off of Monday's 127-122 loss to Minnesota, when they climbed out of a 23-point deficit to tie the game in the final minute, only to see the Timberwolves score the last five points.

Brandon Goodwin, who made his second consecutive start at point guard, recorded his first NBA double-double with 17 points and a game-high 12 assists, with just one turnover.
