Todays cavs game

There is something else about the Cavs, who lost leading scorer Collin Sexton to a season-ending knee injury last month.

The year-old is playing with renewed joy after being slowed by injuries the past two seasons. We have something that is bigger than ourselves, and that has given us all hope that we can make something special happen here.

We feel it. Each of those eight wins were by at least 11 ve won four straight and eight of 10 to improved to Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Lauri Markkanen and Cleveland made light work of the Rockets ; now, the Rockets were severely shorthanded, but the Cavs were in complete control from the jump.

The last time the Cavaliers had a five-game winning streak was in when some guy named LeBron James was here. On this three-game homestand, the Cavaliers faced the Sacramento Kings both teams were on the second night of a back-to-back , the Miami Heat, and the Rockets, who have been playing better of late.

What really made the three-game homestand potentially pendulum swinging or momentum-altering was the on Monday night against the Miami Heat. The reason is that the Cavs sat 1 game behind the Heat for fourth place in the East.

Moreover, the Heat had vengeance on their mind after what happened on Dec. The Heat were without their primary guys, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, but they still fought the Cavs tooth and nail. But the Cavaliers took it from them anyway. But now that the three-game homestand is over, they will go on a three-game road trip.

In the first meeting against the Bucks, the Cavs were in the game pretty much from start to the finish. But the Bucks were able to put together a late run to come away with a win. To only lose by 8 against the defending champs on the second night of a back-to-back is a feat in itself.

Talk about getting the double whammy from the schedule makers. The Cavaliers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored , so they might be worth a quick bet. With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.

The Cavaliers are a 4. The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Cavaliers as a 3. Get picks now. By Scout Staff. Jan 2, at pm ET 3 min read. Tipoff is at 10 p. The Cavs have also lost their last seven games in Portland.
