Here is some pregame information:

Strus has yet to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut because of a sprained right ankle and is listed as questionable for Friday night. However, Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said during his pregame media availability Strus is available to face the Bucks.

Isaac Okoro, meanwhile, will be out for at least two weeks with a shoulder sprain.

The Bucks will be without star guard Damian Lillard, ruling him out with a right calf strain.
