The Brooklyn Nets (4-4) are set to challenge the unbeaten Cleveland Cavaliers (9-0) at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
Brooklyn edged out the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this week with a close 106-104 win. Dennis Schroder and Cam Johnson each contributed 20 points, while four other Nets players also hit double figures. Both teams shot an identical 47% from the field, but the Grizzlies struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just 26.7% of their three-point attempts. Brooklyn dominated the paint, putting up 48 points and adding 13 three-pointers in their home victory.
The Cavaliers overcame an undermanned New Orleans Pelicans squad on Wednesday, led by Donovan Mitchell with 29 points, while seven other Cavs players tallied at least nine points each. Both teams shot an impressive 48% from deep, but Cleveland capitalized on fast-breaks, outscoring New Orleans by 12 points in transition and adding 14 more points in the paint. Each team held a double-digit lead at different points, but Cleveland's depth ultimately proved too much for New Orleans to handle.

Cleveland Cavaliers team news & key performers
Donovan Mitchell is once again putting up stellar numbers for the Cavaliers. Already a record-setter this season, Mitchell came into the weekend averaging 23.8 points per game with an impressive 48.5% shooting accuracy. He’ll look to continue leading the Cavs against a Brooklyn defense that has had its struggles.
The Cavaliers' good fortune with injuries has also been key this season, a welcome change after last season's setbacks that led to their playoff exit against the Celtics. Darius Garland remains a top contributor, coming close to a double-double in a recent game, while Evan Mobley has been a force on defense, swatting away three shots in their latest win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Jarrett Allen is also excelling, averaging 15.1 points and 11.9 rebounds, anchoring the paint and making life tough for opposing players daring enough to drive inside.
