The Cleveland Cavaliers aim for their third consecutive victory and their first NBA Cup win of the season as they face the struggling Washington Wizards.
The Cavaliers still need to progress beyond the NBA Cup group stage. To break that streak, they must win all three remaining games and aim for dominant performances to boost their point differential.
“It’s no coincidence that Darius Garland’s return marked the Cavs’ best offensive night of the season,” observed one team insider.
Garland played his first game of the season on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers, sparking improved ball movement and a season-high 33 team assists.
The Cavaliers face the Wizards seeking momentum and a perfect NBA Cup run, bolstered by Darius Garland’s impactful return.
