Roughly 48 hours after one of the most thrilling endings of the season, the Heat will square off with the Cavaliers once again on Wednesday inside Kaseya Center, the second of a home-home back-to-back. However, the latter is choosing to rest plenty of stars, including Mitchell and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley. Cleveland will also be without Darius Garland, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr.

With the Dodgers in the midst of a stretch that will see them play a season-long 19 games without a day off, manager Dave Roberts rested shortstop Mookie Betts on Wednesday and started Miguel Rojas in his place. Shohei Ohtani, who was in Wednesday's lineup as the starting pitching and designated hitter, is expected to sit out Thursday's series finale, and likely will outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and catcher Will Smith.

Raheem Morris has made it clear that he is not a fan of playing starters often, or really at all, in preseason.
