The Cleveland Cavaliers are maintaining a strong 7-4 record despite facing several key injuries. The team now faces significant challenges with Collin Sexton's meniscus tear, adding to existing absences of Lauri Markkanen, Isaac Okoro, and Kevin Love.

The Cavs managed a perfect 3-0 record without their three forwards, but Sexton's injury presents a unique challenge. As the team's primary isolation scorer and de facto leader, his absence will require a committee approach to fill the scoring void. While Ricky Rubio recently stepped up with a 37-point performance, consistent production from multiple players will be crucial.

Upcoming Schedule:

• Wednesday: vs. Wizards (7-1)
• Friday: vs. Pistons (rebuilding team)
• Saturday: vs. Boston (without Jaylen Brown)

The lighter three-game week provides some relief, though the Wizards game poses a significant challenge. The Pistons matchup could mark Cleveland's first time as favorites this season, while Boston's absence of Jaylen Brown offers an opportunity for another home victory.

Rookie Evan Mobley continues to exceed expectations, recently posting an impressive 26-9-5 statline against the Knicks. The #3 overall pick has shown rapid development and is already making a significant impact, putting the league on notice with his versatile skillset and consistent improvement.
