Cavaliers Face Mavericks as NBA's Top Team Eyes Ninth Straight Win

Cleveland looks to cap off a dominant Western Conference road trip against a Luka Dončić-less Dallas squad led by Kyrie Irving.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, holding the NBA's best record at 29-4, are on an eight-game winning streak and have won every game against Western Conference opponents this season.
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić remains sidelined with a calf injury, leaving Kyrie Irving as the team's primary offensive leader for the matchup.
Cleveland's balanced attack includes standout performances from Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and a dominant frontcourt duo of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
The Mavericks have lost three consecutive games, struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances from their supporting cast in Dončić's absence.
The game tips off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern and will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, with free streaming trials available on DirecTV Stream and FuboTV.
