Tonight's Knicks/Cavaliers game in Cleveland is going to be crazy. The entire city is already in a frenzy, and Quicken Loans Arena will be rockin', because LeBron James is going to be making his long-awaited return to the Cavs. And according to Twitter, every major celebrity in the country (well, almost every major celebrity in the country...) is going to be there to see it.

Justin Bieber? Yeah, someone claims they saw him check into a hotel earlier today. Drake? Yup, he's allegedly somewhere in the 216, too. And OMG, YOU GUYS, BEYONCE WAS SPOTTED AT A STARBUCKS IN CLEVELAND THIS MORNING AND NCJEBVHFWBVNJCHJEBFBHJE!!!!!!!

We really could care less who is sitting courtside when the Knicks/Cavs game tips off. We're more interested in seeing the product that Cleveland puts out on the court (we're less interested in seeing the product that New York puts out there because … ugh, Knicks). But because it seems like everyone is sooooooo interested in who is going to be there, we put together a list of celebs who might show—along with odds to illustrate how likely we think it is (or isn't) for each celeb to actually be at the Q. Check out who you might see at the big game tonight.

Jadakiss

Why we think he might be there: Okay, so this isn't technically a "guess." A New York Post reporter sat next to Jada on a plane heading to Cleveland earlier today. Jada told him that LeBron got him tickets to the game.

What are the odds? Off the board

Unless Jada gets stuck in some ridiculous traffic or falls asleep in his hotel room and doesn't wake up until tomorrow, he will be at the game. How good are the seats that LeBron got him, though?

Spike Lee

Why we think he might be there: The Knicks are playing and it might be one of the rare opportunities that he'll have to spend a ton of money on courtside seats for a Knicks game this season and actually have it be worth the price of admission.

What are the odds? 1/1



Spike has to show up to this game. Unless, of course, he's still busy watching re-runs of What Is the Triangle Offense? on the MSG Network.



Jay Z & Beyoncé

Why we think he might be there: Cleveland residents have reportedly spotted Beyoncé in the city today. We've also seen Jay and Bey show up at games in random cities in the past—like the time they went to see Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City—so it wouldn't be crazy to see them taking in a game in Cleveland.

What are the odds? 2/1

The two were spotted out on a date in New York City last night, which leads us to believe that Beyoncé was not at a Starbucks in Cleveland this AM (plus, if she were, where are the photos?!). But these two enjoy taking in big games courtside and Jay and LeBron are friendly, so it wouldn't surprise us at all to see them kicking it at the Q.

Drake

Why we think he might be there: Back in July, Drake told us that he was going to make trips to Cleveland to watch LeBron play. "Of course," he said. "I definitely have to look into some real estate in Cleveland and spend some months of the year out there."

What are the odds? 4/1

Drizzy was in Toronto last night to watch the Raptors play their first game of the season against the Hawks. He got a cool suit jacket and everything. But he's gone on the record and said that he is going to pop up in Cleveland from time to time to see LeBron play. And what better night than tonight to start doing it?

Johnny Manziel

Why we think he might be there: The Browns play at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday, so we already know that Johnny Football is in town. Plus, as we mentioned, the Browns are playing the Buccaneers. So he can afford to take the night off and watch LeBron.

What are the odds? 6/1

If Drake texts Johnny and asks him to go, best believe he's going. But if Drake doesn't text him (gasp!), Manziel might think twice about it. Can you imagine the outrage on ESPN tomorrow if he chooses to go to a basketball game instead of studying his playbook?!

HA. Uh, yeah, OK, so he probably doesn't care about that. Expect to see him courtside watching his new BFF.

Justin Bieber

Why we think he might be there: A lot of people on Twitter seem to think that he's going to be there. That's really the only reason we have to believe that Biebs is going to show up.

What are the odds? 8/1

Biebs did send LeBron a "Good luck" tweet back in July after he signed with the Cavaliers. But outside of that, we don't really know why he would show up tonight. Unless maybe he wants to show LeBron his cool new trick shots?

Floyd Mayweather

Why we think he might be there: Earlier this month, Money May showed up at a preseason game between the Suns and the Lakers, which proved that he will show up to watch just about anything. He was also a regular at Heat games last season. So if his private jet touches down in Cleveland today, we wouldn't be surprised.

What are the odds? 12/1

If he does show, we're betting he's going to have $100,000 on the Cavaliers -13.

Justin Timberlake

Why we think he might be there: Remember all the trouble that LeBron went through to go to JT's concert with Jay Z back in August 2013? It's time for him to repay the favor.

What are the odds? 15/1

People in Cleveland have reportedly spotted him around town and speculated over whether or not he's going to show up to the game. But can he really be "always reppin' "#GrizzNation" as he suggested yesterday if he shows up to a Cavs game?

Lil Wayne

Why we think he might be there: Despite the Lakers' early season struggles, Weezy has made it perfectly clear that he's riding for Kobe Bryant this season. Hard. But he's also been known to take in games featuring LeBron. So maybe he'll take up Drake's bandwagon ways and show up with the 6 God?

What are the odds? 25/1

Wayne did predict that LeBron would go back to Cleveland two weeks before he actually did it. But still, he can't be out here repping Kobe as hard as he is right now and then going to support LeBron, right? Er, right?

Chris Bosh

Why we think he might be there: The Heat are on their way to Philadelphia right now to take on the 76ers on Saturday. So it wouldn't be too difficult for Bosh to stop off in Cleveland to see his former teammate play his first game with the Cavs.

What are the odds? Better than the chances Kobe gets a ring this year.

LMAO. Okay. Not gonna happen. But there are going to be tons of other celebs at the game. Who else do you think we're going to see?
