Cleveland and Oklahoma are seeing a good season head to head as both have wins and losses equaling each other. So far they have met each other 34 times, out which both managed to secure 17 wins and as for Thunders and Cavs, they have won 4 matches against each other out of 8 since 2021.

Cleveland Cavaliers 

The Cavs remained unbeaten due to their determination to cement their first-place position in the East. Kenny Atikson’s team plays steadily and in an efficient manner which allows them to post points in almost every match. Their latest game was against the Charlotte team during which Cleveland won (115-105). Evan Mobley managed to impress yet again by scoring 17 points and also adding 5 rebounds.

The reason why this team of players is able to perform so well is the combination of their chemistry and their deeper squad. There is Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen in optimal physical form, and with the help of the rotation, the team manages to keep the pace high at all times during the match. The Cavaliers seem to be strongest on their home court and the reason for that could be the support from their fans. This next game where the team will represent East against the leader of the west will be a true test.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder have exhibited remarkable reactions this year. Oklahoma has claimed the top spot in the Western conference and has now become one of the favorites for an impressive season, marking victory against Boston and Memphis with scores of ‘105-92’ and ‘130-106’ respectively. The style of basketball played by Mark Daigneault’s team can be described as aggressive offensive.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a beast in terms of scoring, averaging more than 30pts during his games, whereas Josh Giddey and Chet Holmgren provide versatility to the game style. Although Oklahoma makes up for their weaknesses through superior road games, this might just change during their matchup with Cleveland.

Both teams are at the top of their conferences, so this game will be an intense match. On LeBron James's home turf, the Cavaliers are in full form and seem ready to overpower and capitalize on their competition's weaknesses.
