Cleveland, meanwhile, is coming off a 137-115 blowout win against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Darius Garland led the Cavs in scoring with 26 points, while Donovan Mitchell had 24 points. Sixth Man of the Year candidate Ty Jerome had 20 points off the bench.

The two teams have faced each other on 86 occasions, with the Cavs holding a 46-40 lead. This will be their second game this season. They last played on Jan. 3 when Cleveland won 134-122. Evan Mobley led the team with 34 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks.
