The Cavaliers shot 51 percent from the field and knocked down 17 triples. Evan Mobley, who didn’t play at Target Center in the mid-January meeting, led the Cavaliers’ charge with 28 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four blocked shots. Jarrett Allen also had a double-double, and Donovan Mitchell poured in 23 points.

For the game, they could remain without their best player, as Anthony Edwards is on the injury report. Edwards also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Anthony Edwards has been playing up to his superstar status for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He totaled 90 points over two wins on back-to-back days with the Timberwolves missing two key contributors and searching for a mid-winter spark.
