PHOENIX -- Kevin Love said he's looking to return to the Cavaliers later next week.

Love, who broke a bone in his left hand on Jan. 30, told cleveland.com he was hopeful to play against Phoenix at The Q on March 23. The Cavs play the East-leading Raptors on March 21 and are in Brooklyn March 25.

Love was hesitant on a precise target date -- as the Cavs play every other day, which limits practice opportunities -- but he's looking at next week.

At the time Love was hurt, the Cavs said he'd miss eight weeks, which would be March 26. So Love could be ahead of that timeline, but not by much.

Love has missed 19 games, and the Cavs are 10-9 without him. They beat the Phoenix Suns 129-107 on Tuesday.

Love yet to play with new Cavs George Hill, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson. An All-Star, Love is averaging 17.9 points and 9.4 rebounds.

"I just want us to get as healthy as we can get so I know and obviously our coaching staff knows and we all know what we can become," LeBron James said.

Kyle Korver has 'no idea' what's going on

Kyle Korver's start in place of JR Smith was supposed to be a one-game thing, or an "until Rodney Hood comes back" thing.

And then Korver makes 6-of-7 shots (5-of-6 3s) and scores 22 points. Coach Tyronn Lue admitted seeing Korver play like that as a starter made him think about using him long(er) term.

"Yeah it does," Lue said. "He played well, but when Rodney comes back he's going to have a minute restriction anyway. So we just kinda gotta see what's best for him. Just talking to Steve (team trainer Steven Spiro), we haven't quite figured it out yet."

Hood missed his second full game (he was out most of Friday's game too) with a lower back strain. If Hood is on a minutes restriction when he comes back, it means Lue will only play him in set spurts. It can be done with Hood as a starter or coming off the bench.

"I have no idea what's going on," Korver said. "I don't know if this is a one-game thing. I really have no idea. I told Ty I'm ready to do whatever he needs, just tell me before the game starts. So tonight, I think with Rodney still out, just trying a couple new things but I'm not making much of it."

Korver is shooting .440 from 3-point range this season.

James said "We always work well together since the time he got here.

"If he's on the floor, we have to find him," James said. "He works well without the ball, with his body movement. A lot of teams kind of mess up the coverage when they try to track him."

James was 13-of-15 from the foul line Tuesday -- a season high in attempts.

"It felt good to go to the free-throw line consistently," James said. "Finally. I went up there and knocked them out."

James' 6.1 foul shot attempts this season are a career low.

Larry Nance says he's fine

Larry Nance Jr. missed almost the entire second half with right hamstring tightness. Lue said Nance has been dealing with it for a few days. Nance declared emphatically after the game: "I'm fine."

OK. In the meantime, Ante Zizic, literally the only other big on the roster who is able to play right now, had his foot examined by team trainer Steven Spiro after the game.

When is Love coming back again?

John Holland's days numbered, for now

John Holland nearly ripped the rim off with a dunk attempt in the third quarter. He bricked the dunk, and afterward Korver reminded him "you're a shooter, not a dunker."

What Holland is at the moment is a rotation player for the Cavs. However, as a player on a "two-way" contract, which means he was supposed to spend 45 days in the NBA and the rest with Canton in the "G" League, Holland is ineligible for the playoffs.

The only way Holland could play for the Cavs in the playoffs is if they signed him to an NBA contract. Keep in mind, they do have two open roster spots.

With the injuries to Hood and Cedi Osman, Lue used Holland in the last two games. He scored two points Tuesday and was 1-of-7 shooting, but he grabbed six rebounds and blocked two shots.

"The biggest thing for him is just defensively staying locked in and knowing the coverage and what we're doing," Lue said. He did a good job of that tonight."

Not sure if @robperez2015 is drawing up a play here, but it's very nice to see him along with @Lindor12BC and @Urshela10! 😄#CavsSuns pic.twitter.com/rUJ0xpYtCh — FOX Sports Ohio (@FOXSportsOH) March 14, 2018

And finally

Jose Calderon went over the 5,000-assist threshold for his career with his five assists Tuesday. ... The Indians didn't play a spring-training game Tuesday, so several members of the organization were at the Cavs' game. They included (but were not limited to) Terry Francona, Francisco Lindor, Giovanny Urshela, Robert Perez, Edwin Encarnacion and Yan Gomes.
