Cleveland Cavaliers

The King makes his only return to Cleveland this season, playoffs included.

Trying to slow down James, along with Davis, is going to clearly be key for Cleveland to win tonight on TNT. Bickerstaff and his team try to ignore attention in regard to tonight’s opponent, the Cavaliers will be facing two threats: the Lakers and LeBron James. If you’re Cleveland, you hope James isn’t feeling like the Man in the Arena and rather at a loss for words (or points) like his Instagram captions always say. For those who may not know, the Cavaliers' history, especially as of late, is operating in tandem with James since, ya know, he was the reason why Cleveland won a championship in 2016. If Allen is able to go, then Cleveland will have a better time defending the red-hot Davis. Sure, Mobley will be able to hold his own against Davis on some possessions but he likely won’t be able to contain him every time down the court.

I don’t know what else to say.” Gotta go back to the fundamentals I guess. Never in my basketball career, even going back to elementary school,” point guard Darius Garland said when asked whether he had ever been part of a game with that many called travels. The Knicks committed eight travels while the Cavs were whistled for five. But as Sunday showed, the league-mandated traveling crackdown is here -- and it is real. “Kev has been doing that for the last 15 years.” The fundamentally-sound Love was baffled. Love was called for a travel. Love used his go-to move, the same one he practices every day. There was no shot attempt.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been upgraded to available. As for the Cavs, Ricky Rubio, Dylan Windler, Dean Wade and Isaiah Mobley have all been ruled out ...

The Lakers are the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 10-12 record in their first 22 games. The Lakers come into the night in the middle of a three-game winning streak and are also 8-2 in their last ten games. For the game, the two teams have finalized their injury reports and starting lineups.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are dealing with mental lapses heading into a showdown with Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers, a bad combination.

The Cavs can’t afford to make mental mistakes as they did in New York on Sunday. Sure, a great record and a Top 4 seed still in the East but this team is far too talented to just be the 4th seed. The Cleveland Cavaliers are apparently having issues with traveling.
