Cleveland Cavaliers will battle it out with the Brooklyn Nets in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 20 February.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 201st meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in the 1976/17 season, which was the Nets' first in the NBA.
The Cavaliers have the edge in this rivalry, having recorded 115 wins compared to the Nets' 85 victories from 200 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Cavaliers defeated the Nets, 131-124, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on 25 October.
Donovan Mitchell was the standout performer, leading all scorers with a game-high 35 points (along with six assists) to fuel the Cavaliers' win.
Key Players
The Cavaliers' most influential player is Donovan Mitchell, as the superstar guard averages a career-high 29.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game (with 48.7% FG and 37.6% from three) across 51 games this season.
With Nets' star player Nic Claxton currently injured, Day'Ron Sharpe has impressed with his interior scoring, physicality and energy, which have helped maintain the frontcourt presence for the team.
Quotes
"I've seen a new person. I would love to know what changed. He's just completely different from the beginning of the year,” Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said about the in-form Jarrett Allen.
“I think Evan (Mobley) being out, obviously, he's taken more and more responsibility but this might be the best Jarrett Allen I've seen since I've been here. Really impressed with what he’s doing on both ends."
