Brooklyn Nets Form
Brooklyn go into this on the back of a victory but have been in underwhelming form in recent weeks.
The Nets have won just four of their last 10 games dating back to December 30, and they have not managed back-to-back wins.
They destroyed Eastern Conference rivals Chicago on the road last Wednesday, but then slumped to a surprise 130-109 defeat at home to Oklahoma City 24 hours later.
Brooklyn did bounce back on Saturday night though, beating New Orleans 120-105 at the Barclays Center.
It was not all good news for the Nets during that win though, as they lost star man Kevin Durant to injury.
Durant is averaging a team-leading 29.3 points per game alongside 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists, but he has a sprained MCL and will be out for a few weeks.
That heaps the pressure on James Harden and Kyrie Irving, when the latter is available to play.
Harden is averaging 22.7 points, 10.0 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game, while Irving has averaged 17.7 points per game through his first three outings.
Cleveland Cavaliers Form
Cleveland go into this big home matchup in good form having won their last four games and six of their last eight.
The Cavaliers ended 2021 in a bit of a slump, losing four games in a five-game spell, but their start to the 2022 has been much brighter.
They are returning home for this matchup on the back of a success six-game roadtrip that saw them win five of their six games and go on a four-game win streak.
This streak includes an impressive 111-91 victory in Utah last Wednesday night.
Cleveland have no players averaging at least 20 points per game, but they have been sharing the responsibility for scoring.
No less than nine players are in double digits for points scored per game, with Darius Garland the team leader averaging 19.7 to go along with 7.8 assists per game.
Jarrett Allen is also a leading contributor, putting up 16.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per outing.
The Cavaliers have been outstanding on the defensive front, with only Golden State allowing less points per game.
