CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will return to the lineup after missing a game because of a bruised left thigh.

Cleveland hosts Sacramento on Monday night.

Love sat out for the first time this season on Saturday in a win over New Orleans. He was injured in the third quarter of Friday's loss to Boston and didn't return.

He is averaging 15.9 points and 10.5 rebounds.

Love participated in Monday's shootaround. He is nearing a pair of career milestones, needing three points to reach 9,000 and three field goals to hit 3,000.
