David Lee is going through his usual pre-game routine on the court -- a good indication that he's going to give it a go despite the flu.

Pre-game reading material:
GSoM Warriors v Cavs preview: Kyrie the next superstar?
Simmons: Lee, Jack are sick; Jackson considers using big lineup
Wednesday links: Let's talk Dubs backcourt!
Predictions (via Poor Man's Commish):
- Kyrie Irving gets 20 points, 8 assists: Hard not to overstate how outstanding Irving has been this season - as written at SB Nation's Cleveland Cavaliers site Fear the Sword, he's been dominating elite NBA point guards.
- Dion Waiters gets held under 20 points: Remember how Zach Lowe mentioned at Grantland that he was impressed with Klay Thompson's defense? Let's see how he does tonight.
- Combined points over 200: Neither Golden State nor Cleveland have been playing at breakneck pace this season, if the Warriors get a good offensive game from their big guns and struggle to defend the Cavs' backcourt this could be a high-scoring affair.
