Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James will sit out tonight's game vs. the Washington Wizards and will rest ahead of the playoffs kicking off this weekend. Meanwhile, Cavs guard Kyrie Irving will play tonight after leaving Monday's game at halftime with a hip injury.

It is unclear how much Irving will play. It's also unclear how much Kevin Love, J.R. Smith and other key players will play tonight. Earlier today, the Cavs recalled Joe Harris from the Canton Charge. That may indicate that the Cavs' main wings may play less than normal.
Washington will also rest some of its players, as guard John Wall, guard Bradley Beal, forward Paul Pierce and forward Nene will sit out tonight's regular season finale.
