With the top records in their respective conferences, the Cleveland Cavs enter the rematch as favorites again with the best record in the NBA overall. The Cavs are coming off a win against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, so the team is looking to get their second straight win. The Cavs also ended the Thunder’s 15-game winning streak the last time these two teams met with Cleveland edging out Oklahoma City with a score of 129-122.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City just beat the Philadelphia 76ers in Philadelphia, so the Thunder would want to continue that momentum to get their fourth straight win in a row. It should be one epic battle between Cleveland and Oklahoma City, especially since their last matchup was a real nail-biter.
