LeBron James has admitted that using players off the bench more often could help the Cleveland Cavaliers combat fatigue during the NBA Finals.

Coach David Blatt admitted that the Eastern Conference champions had found the schedule gruelling following their 103-82 defeat to the Golden State Warriors in game four.

The forward told ESPN: "That's the coach's decision if he decides he wants to go deeper in the bench. We haven't played many guys throughout this playoff run. I think it would help some of the guys that are playing some high minutes, for sure.

"Just give guys a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there. But I think the coaching staff will try to do what's best to help us be physically and mentally prepared for Sunday. We don't have many options as far as lineups we can go to, but we can make adjustments. That's what you do throughout a series."

The sides meet again on Sunday, with the series tied at 2-2.
