Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers head-to-head record
The Cavaliers have dominated their last five meetings with the Trail Blazers, capturing four of them when they faced each other. Portland has found it difficult to keep up with Cleveland's offensive prowess, which has seen them score over 109 points during four of these encounters. The Cavaliers controlled their meeting on the sixteenth of November 2023, winning 109-95, but the Blazers won their previous game on the first of December 2023, 103-95. Cleveland will probably control the pace and take advantage of Portland's weakened defense because of their greater scoring ability, effectiveness, and movement of the ball this season. The Cavaliers' superior overall game and prior success indicate they have the advantage in this game, even though the Blazers might try to capitalize on their most recent triumph.
