The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without forward Kevin Love for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Love left Sunday's outing late in the first half with what is being called back spasms. He did not return to the court and is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday. 

With Love out of action for the second half of Sunday's blowout win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 54 points, 17 rebounds and 18 assists. Look for them to continue picking up the slack against a bad Mavs team. The expectation here is also that Richard Jefferson will see more action. He scored eight points in 30 minutes on Sunday.
