CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cavs (32-21) travel to Denver for the final contest of this five-game road trip at Ball Arena. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. Eastern.
The Nuggets (34-19) have the best offense in the NBA, led by the league’s second-best field goal percentage (49.5%) and best 3-point percentage (39.6%), but come into Monday’s game severely hampered due to injuries. Still, they are anchored by perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokić.
Cleveland, with the sixth-best offense in the league, gets another look with James Harden on the roster as it’ll be his second game in wine and gold, while Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder continue to get acclimated in their third contests with their new squad.
