Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers continue to hold the lead in the East, showing a well-coordinated and stable game.

Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell remain key figures in the attack. Playing at home is an additional chance for the team, where the Cavs traditionally perform more confidently. The meeting with Milwaukee will be a serious test, but the hosts are determined to continue their successful series.
