The Cavs have been downsizing in recent weeks. One reason was the loss of top center Jarrett Allen. Admittedly, the “big man” has been back on board for several games, but his return hasn’t changed much about the sporting decline. However, the majority (4) of the last six games since his return ended in defeat for coach Kenny Atkinson’s team.

In addition, Allen is back, but as described at the beginning, the no less powerful center Evan Mobley, who averages around nine boards and more than one block per game, is missing. Even though he has now been back for a game, he is unlikely to be back to his full potential due to his previous injury. We therefore still consider the guests’ defense to be weakened.
