Pregame: Cavs vs. Bucks
7 p.m.
Value City Arena, Columbus
Cavs probable starting lineup: PG Mo Williams, SG Anthony Parker, SF Jamario Moon, PF Antawn Jamison, C Anderson Varejao
NOTES:
* Antawn Jamison will play tonight in the final preseason game. His left knee is feeling better and he wants one more game before the season starts. "It's one thing to practice with these guys, but I wanted that tuneup game before we get going next week," he said. Byron Scott was going to leave the decision up to Jamison, but was pleasantly surprised Jamison wanted to play. He thought he'd take the last week to rest the knee before the season started next week.
* Jamison isn't exactly embracing the idea of coming off the bench, but he's a pro and he's not going to make a fuss over it. I'll have more on this in Sunday's Akron Beacon Journal.
* The fingers on Anthony Parker's right hand are still bothering him a little bit. It's annoying and could linger for quite awhile, but it doesn't appear to be anything that would prevent him from playing. Parker said he needs quite a few days in a row with the hand not getting banged in order to heal. That might be hard to do.
* Scott spoke with reporters before the team's morning shootaround today, so he hadn't met with Joey Graham yet to see how his bruised right quad was feeling. It's not clear whether or not Graham is available, but tonight will mark the first time the top nine members of the Cavs rotation have all been healthy and available (Williams, Parker, Moon, Hickson, Varejao, Jamison, Boobie Gibson, Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins).
