Brooklyn Nets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Game Preview, Betting Odds
In the second of the Brooklyn Nets three-straight road matchups, Jordi Fernandez’s crew heads into Cleveland to take on the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers. After falling to the Boston Celtics in overtime last night, Brooklyn looks to avenge the narrow loss and climb back to .500.
ODDS:
The Nets enter the day as 13-point underdogs to the Cavaliers, and the total over/under is 223.5 points.
KEYS TO THE GAME:
1. Play free. The Nets have surpassed all expectations on the young 2024-25 season, and tasked with toppling the best team in the NBA, there’s no added pressure. Brooklyn isn’t supposed to win this one, which is exactly why they may. Fernandez’s “gritty” identity he’s installed has given the league’s top squads fits, and tonight should be no different.
2. Slow Cleveland’s balanced attack. Unlike in previous years, Donovan Mitchell has been good but not completely dominant. Evan Mobley has emerged as a true scoring threat, taking some of the Cavaliers’ offensive pressure off Micthell and Darius Garland. The Nets’ array of versatile defenders should be a difference-maker in the Saturday night matchup.
3. Roll with the same starters. Against Boston, Fernandez moved Nic Claxton into the starting five and Ben Simmons to the bench. In a reserve role, the latter shined as Brooklyn’s facilitator. Given Dennis Schröder’s hot start and Cam Thomas’ lethal scoring ability, having all three on the court simultaneously doesn’t work as well. After nearly downing the reigning champs, Simmons should serve as the Nets’ sixth man going forward.

West side Cleveland mom shot in her face during carjacking and lives to tell 19 News about it
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – On Friday, just two days into the new year, 38-year-old Cleveland mom, Tiffany Muscatell, reveals what happened that led to her being shot in her face by a stranger.
Woman shot on Cleveland’s West Side during carjacking
She spoke exclusively with 19 News senior reporter Harry Boomer late Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 7900 block of Madison Avenue, Cleveland police said.
“What Happened? I was taking my son to my mom’s house, and a guy held me at gunpoint. Told me to get on the ground. I got on the ground. I didn’t have any money. He got into the car, told me to get my son out. It took too long. He threw me out the back and the gun went off. Then he took my son out and threw him on the ground.”
Muscatell was rushed to Metro Health Medical Center by EMS with a gunshot wound to her face.
She has more than a dozen stitches and is home to begin the healing process.
Several of her neighbors expressed outrage about what happened to her and her young son.
Here’s Howard Fetterman, who lives in the same Detroit Shoreway community as she does.
“Really, a baby with her. That’s ridiculous and insane. I think it’s disgusting for somebody to shoot a lady with a baby. They ought to catch the son-of-a-gun.”
Police found Muscatell’s car a short time after the carjacking near her home. The shooter is still on the loose.
