Max Strus will return to the Cavaliers’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Raptors, replacing Dean Wade. This adjustment by head coach Kenny Atkinson seeks to bolster the team’s offensive capabilities. The remaining starters—James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen—will stay unchanged, suggesting a strategic mix aiming to balance experience and scoring potential against a competitive Raptors squad.
