The Cleveland Cavaliers (33-21) face the San Antonio Spurs (20-34) in what projects to be an intriguing matchup. The Cavs enter on a two-game win streak while the Spurs have dropped three of their last four.

Betting Line:

• Spread: Cavaliers -7
• Over/Under: 219 points

Key Storylines:

Caris LeVert makes his Cavaliers debut after being acquired via trade. The Pickerington, Ohio native provides much-needed scoring and playmaking to help offset the losses of Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio.

Kevin Love is playing his best basketball of the season, averaging 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his last four games. His shooting and veteran leadership have been crucial to the Cavs' success.

For the Spurs, All-Star Dejounte Murray continues his stellar play, posting impressive averages of 21.8 points, 10.2 assists and 8.6 rebounds on 48% shooting over his last 10 games.

Injury Note: Darius Garland (back) is questionable after missing the previous four games.

Prediction: Despite Garland potentially being out, the Cavaliers should handle the struggling Spurs at home. LeVert's debut provides an offensive boost as Cleveland covers the 7-point spread.
