The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to host the Golden State Warriors tonight, with both franchises navigating extensive injury reports. This clash, a revival of a prominent 2010s rivalry, will take place at Rocket Arena. The Cavaliers are looking to build on recent success, while the Warriors aim to halt a losing streak amid significant player absences.
The game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off on December 6, 2025, broadcast live on NBA TV and FanDuel Sports Network Ohio. Fans can also stream the action via NBA League Pass. The Cavaliers have several rotation players sidelined, including Jarrett Allen and Max Strus, though Darius Garland is anticipated to return. The Warriors, conversely, are heavily shorthanded, with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler among those out, and other key players listed as questionable.
Cleveland enters the contest with a recent scoring surge, averaging over 119 points per game and showcasing improved offensive rhythm. Their focus on interior play has become a crucial adjustment. The Warriors face offensive challenges without their star players and have struggled with defensive consistency due to shifting lineups, making depth and home advantage potential key factors for the Cavaliers.
