The Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing with their key players on the court tonight. La Pistola Ricky Rubio will come back for Minnesota after suffering a disastrous LCL and ACL injury last March. The point guard was a solid asset to the team last season when he was averaging 10.6 points and 8.2 assists per game during his rookie season.

The 5-19 Cavs are probably going to face some hard times when they face the conference-leading New York Knicks tonight, but at least they're not heading to the Garden without Kyrie Irving. He's slated to play despite suffering a broken bone in his jaw in Friday's game against the Bucks. He didn't travel to New York with the team so he can be fitted with a protective mask.
But is Irving enough to help the Cavs beat a Knicks team that's currently undefeated at home?
