Latest news and updates about the Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers went 1-1 last week, looking strong against the Detroit Pistons and floundering for the first half against the Boston Celtics. Not the most consistent week from the team; however, Evan Mobley was the most consistent presence in both those games. Seeing him reassimilate into the team after an extended absence was a […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn’t overcome an awful 10-point second quarter as they fell to the Boston Celtics 109-98. Boston is a bad matchup for Cleveland. They can press the Cavs in a lot of the areas they struggle with most on both ends of the floor. Offensively, they can spread the Cavs’ defense […]
Eight minutes into the third quarter, Baylor Scheierman chased down Payton Pritchard’s missed 3-pointer and slapped the rebound back to him. The extra effort led to a feed to a wide-open Sam Hauser, who buried a second-chance three to give the Celtics a 26-point lead and forced a Cavaliers timeout. That relentless hustle sums up […]
In Jayson Tatum’s second game back, he scored 20 points in 27 minutes after a big 12-point first quarter. However, this afternoon belonged to Jaylen Brown who scored 23 points with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics beat the Cavaliers, 109-98 to improve to 43-21. Nikola Vucevic is the only Celtic who missed this […]
CLEVELAND — Not much went right for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon. They couldn’t make a shot, struggled to stay with the Boston Celtics’ stars on the perimeter, and were outhustled all afternoon. This all led to a 109-98 loss to the class of the Eastern Conference that wasn’t nearly as close as the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have many marquee games left, but this is one of them. They take on the Boston Celtics for the third and final time this season. It’s also Cleveland’s last game against the current top four in the standings in either conference. This will be our final chance to see how the […]
BOSTON — Jayson Tatum is available to play in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics shared in Saturday’s injury report. Tatum made his return from a torn Achilles on Friday night after 298 days sidelined, and tallied 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists in 27 minutes. And though he did not disclose […]
INDEPENDENCE — James Harden’s ability to make each of his new teammates better in different ways has stood out in the first nine games with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The instant chemistry he’s developed with Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Sam Merrill has been easy to see. Evan Mobley is looking to be the next Cavalier […]
By the time someone gets to the NBA, most of their raw potential has already been explored. A 23-year-old prospect rarely stumbles into a new, prolific role that they’ve never attempted before. But for Jaylon Tyson and the Cleveland Cavaliers, experimentation has led to a great revelation. Tyson’s found success being a pick-and-roll partner with […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers drastically shook up their roster at the trade deadline by swapping out former two-time All-Star Darius Garland for James Harden. That move wasn’t exactly popular among long-term fans at the time of the deal. After a month and a string of impressive play, opinions have shifted. Earlier this week, we asked how […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a rare four-day break between Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Pistons and Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics. That layoff is coming at a good time, as it may provide an opportunity for some of the injured Cavaliers, including Donovan Mitchell, to return to the lineup. Head […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took down the conference-leading Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, thanks in part to 22 points from Jaylon Tyson and how well he defended MVP candidate Cade Cunningham. Tyson stepped up admirably on defense as he was physical at the point of attack and did a good job of shadowing Cunningham everywhere he went […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took down the conference-leading Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, but they didn’t come through the game unscathed. Jarrett Allen, who’s played the best basketball of his career for the last month, injured his knee midway through the third quarter and wasn’t able to return. Afterward, head coach Kenny Atkinson was asked about […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers had many chances to defeat the Detroit Pistons last Friday, even though they were without their two star guards, James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin). The Cavs failed to close the game out at the free-throw line, and they couldn’t hold on to a late lead in regulation. Despite the […]
After feeling like Jarrett Allen was being wasted with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the start of the season, Allen saw an uptick of involvement around the trade deadline. This turned into a whole month of Allen seizing opportunities and showing a level of aggression we haven’t seen since his All-Star campaign in 2021-22. It only […]

Good morning, it’s Tuesday, March 3rd. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 38-24 and host the Detroit Pistons tonight. They’ll be without Donovan Mitchell again, who has missed the previous three games with a groin injury. Let’s hope he’ll be back next week, as the Cavs have four days off after this game. Cleveland’s rematch with the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers are familiar with injury troubles. They’ve been dealt a short hand for most of the season. So it’s no surprise they will again be without one of their key players as they host the Detroit Pistons tonight. Donovan Mitchell is listed as OUT with a groin injury. The seven-time All-Star has missed […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102. It shouldn’t have been this close, but a win is a win. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. James Harden 22 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 turnovers Harden will be playing through a broken finger on his non-dominant hand for the […]
Kenny Atkinson promised pregame that the Brooklyn Nets would one day “break through.” “You’re just waiting for that, like ‘When is that gonna happen?’ And you look at it like, ‘Man, is it ever going to happen?’ I’m sure Jordi is going, ‘Man, everyone is saying it’ll happen,’” he said in answer to our Lucas […]
Look at the cover photo and realize how quickly life comes at you. Kenny Atkinson coaching James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Nets have lost seven straight entering Sunday’s matinee affair. That’d be the worst in the Conference if not for Chicago’s […]
