J.B. Bickerstaff’s scrappy young squad comes into the contest riding a four-game win streak – including a pair of dramatic road victories over the weekend – and have now won seven of their last nine. Their 7-4 mark is the Cavaliers best start since the season after winning the 2016 Championship.
It’s been a different hero almost every night for Cleveland, which is coming off a convincing win over the Knicks in New York on Sunday evening. The Wine & Gold went 13-of-17 from beyond the arc in the second half of that win – with Ricky Rubio drilling six of those bombs on seven second-half attempts – part of his game- and career-high 37-point explosion, going 8-of-9 from three-point range and 13-of-19 from the floor overall, adding a game-high 10 assists.
