The Cavaliers are going to have depth issues for this game with Kevin Love (calf), Kevin Porter Jr. (personal), Dante Exum (hip) and Matthew Dellavedova (back) all out. The Hornets received some good news when it was determined that Gordon Hayward will be able to play after suffering a fractured right pinky during the preseason. Add in first-round draft pick LaMelo Ball and the Hornets are in good position to start the season on a high note.
