Analysis:

After entering the starting lineup in Friday's win over the Rockets, Mozgov looks in line to get another nod after Tristan Thompson was spotted wearing a jersey during the Cavs' morning shootaround usually reserved for bench players. It's likely that Mozgov's stint in the starting five is only matchup-based, as the Rockets (Dwight Howard) and Warriors (Andrew Bogut) both start traditional back-to-the-basket centers that Mozgov can match up better with than the rangier Tristan Thompson, who is best utilized as a small-ball center.
