The Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping to end February on a high note Friday night when they take on the Boston Celtics.
Obviously, this will be a very big game for both teams because it’ll feature the first and second seeds of the Eastern Conference battling it out.
But the Celtics could be slightly impaired because they might be missing a few key players.
According to Evan Dammarell, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Luke Kornet are all listed as questionable for Friday’s game.
They will all be game-time decisions.

Those are three important players and their loss could hurt the Celtics and hold them back.
This might make life easier for the Cavaliers and could lead to an easier victory, even though the game will be held in Boston.
A win is exactly what they want because they are currently 1-2 in their regular season series against the Celtics this year.
They lost the first game, won the second, and then lost the third just a few weeks ago.
Winning the fourth game and evening the series would put a lot of wind in Cleveland’s sails, but it won’t be easy even if these three stars are on the sidelines.
The Cavaliers are currently on an eight-game winning streak and they would love to push it up to nine, especially because of the games they have lined up after Friday.
They will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, followed by the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, and Charlotte Hornets.
If they beat the Celtics, they might have a pathway to at least a 13-game winning streak.
The Celtics might end up being their biggest challenger in the East so every chance the Cavaliers have to beat them, they want.
