Friday, November 8, finds cross-conference rivals the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards facing each other for the first time in the 2019-20 season.
Last season, the squads played split the four meetings. The Wizards hold the all-time record having bested the Cavaliers in 112 of their 218 matches.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The two veteran big men on the Cavaliers are averaging double-doubles and leading their young team. Although there is a question of whether these performances aren’t more tied to showcasing their abilities in order to get traded to a contender.

Kevin Love is reminding the league of his rebounding ability with his 18.9 points and 14.4 rebounds average this season. The surprise is Tristan Thompson not necessarily known for his scoring prowess is also posting an impressive 16.9 points and 11.6 rebound average.
In their recent loss, six players posted double-digit scoring including Collin Sexton (21), Thompson (19), Love (17), Larry Nance (15), while Cedi Osman and Jordan Clarkson chipped in with 12 points each.
Kevin Porter Jr. will return to the court after serving a one-game suspension for improperly making contact with a game official. Three other Cavaliers will miss the game as they continue to mend from various ailments.
That trio includes Ante Zizic (left foot, plantar fasciitis) and Dylan Windler (left tibial stress reaction.) both out until mid-November while John Henson (strained right hamstring) is expected out until the end of the month.
Washington Wizards
This Wizards squad can put points up on the board on any given night as they demonstrated in their 158 point showing against the Rockets. The problem is they’ll also allow opponents to score that many in return.

Through seven games the Wizards rank seventh offensively but are 27th ranked on defense.
The recently contract extended Bradley Beal has started the season on fire scoring 22 points or more in his last five games. In the loss to the Pacers, he scored 30 points.
Four other Wizards players delivered double-digit scoring including Thomas Bryant (20), CJ Miles (15), Davis Bertans (11) and Isaiah Thomas (10).
Rookie Rui Hachimura had his worst game since becoming a pro going scoreless although he did add eight rebounds.
Ian Mahinmi remains out dealing with a strained right Achilles tendon and isn’t expected back until the middle of the month. John Wall isn’t expected to return this season as he rehabs a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
Both clubs are in search of a third win and neither is particularly committed to the defensive side of the hardwood. The balance of the match may well come down to if the Wizards can defend the paint or if the Cavaliers can defend the perimeter.
Cleveland owns the 23rd ranked perimeter defense while the Wizards rank 16th in terms of points in paint scoring by opponents (48.0). In fairness, the Cavaliers aren’t particularly adept at scoring bushels in the paint however the personnel on the Wizards will have a hard time stopping both Love and Thompson.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Wizards ATS
Ultimately, the home court advantage may be the biggest factor since the Cavaliers have yet to win on the road.
