The Cleveland Cavaliers will visit Frost Bank Center to clash against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, December 29. This will be the second time these teams will be up against each other in the current NBA season. Their previous meeting saw the Cavaliers recording a comfortable victory over the Spurs, and in the forthcoming game, we could see them aiming for another win. The hosts, on the other hand, will aim to avenge the defeat and level their tally.

The Cavaliers enter the matchup on the back of a two-game losing streak, with their most-recent defeat coming at the hands of the Houston Rockets. With the loss, they dropped their seasonal tally to 17-16, in the eighth spot of the Eastern Conference. On the other hand, the Spurs are coming off a blowout loss to the Utah Jazz. With the defeat, the Spurs’ five-game winning streak snapped, and they fell to their eighth defeat of the season.

Considering the Cavaliers’ dominance over the Spurs, and the latter’s recent form, we can expect a tight contest taking place in San Antonio. However, before that, let’s get into injury reports for both teams and see how their starting lineups could look like.
