How To Watch

Obviously you can see the records — Detroit at 11-37 and Cleveland at a surprising 30-29, which is good four fourth int he East and just a game and a half back from the No. 1 seed Miami Heat — and understand why the Cavs are 7.5-point favorites on Detroit's home court. The Cavs routinely play three 7-footers at the same time in Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Lauri Markkanen, which really makes them tough to matchup with. As one of the more undersized teams in the league, Detroit could have its hands all the way full tonight.

Injury Report

The biggest news here is that Jerami Grant is getting back to game ready. Kelly Olynyk came back after missing two months with a knee injury but immediately jumped into health and safety protocols. He's now working his way back into shape and could be on the court later this week.

Game Notes

Hamidou Diallo is averaging 1.2 steals per game, while Cade Cunningham is getting 1.3 steals per game. That is a testament to their positioning but also their length and activity. Diallo, especially, has been bringing a lot of hustle and energy to the floor as he's filling in for Jerami Grant.
