The Cleveland Cavaliers face the Washington Wizards in D.C. for their second matchup this season. The Wizards won the first meeting thanks to Kyle Kuzma's late-game heroics, hitting crucial three-pointers to secure the victory.

Cleveland enters with momentum, riding a three-game winning streak including impressive victories over Dallas and Miami. The Cavs have benefited from extra rest with no recent back-to-back games.

Washington has surprised many with their 14-8 record under first-year head coach Wes Unseld Jr. The team's success can be attributed to balanced scoring and solid contributions throughout their rotation. The Lakers trade that brought in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Kuzma, and Montrezl Harrell has proven beneficial, with all three players fitting seamlessly alongside Bradley Beal, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Daniel Gafford.

Key Players to Watch:

• Cavs: Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley

• Spread: Wizards -4.5
