Good morning, we hope your year is off to a good start. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 19-16 and host the Denver Nuggets today. Denver will be without Nikola Jokic against a Cavs team that has won two in a row.
This is Cleveland’s first time playing the Nuggets this season. They were 2-1 against the Nuggets last season.
Today’s Game of the Day
- Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors – 10 PM, NBA League Pass
OKC has cooled off since its hot start to the season. At one point, this team looked destined for 70+ wins. Now? They’ve gone 6-4 over their last ten games.
Don’t get me wrong, the Thunder
could still win 70 games. But this recent skit makes them worth watching. Will they quickly weather this storm and return to their historic pace? Or will the Warriors, who hold the all-time record for wins in a regular season, defend their record by dealing the Thunder another loss?
Stephen Curry versus Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a matchup worth catching.
