The Cleveland Cavaliers’ magic number to clinch to the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference is down to just two – meaning if the Cavaliers in Friday and the Celtics lose Saturday against the Hornets, the Cleveland locks the No. 1 seed up.

And while he would like to rest LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue won’t do until then.

“If we can take care of business like we’re supposed to, I’d definitely like to get Kyrie and LeBron some more rest,” he said at his pregame media availability.
