With back-to-back wins over quality competition, the Cleveland Cavaliers are finding success through feeding Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

As the Cavs turn the page to 2026, here are their New Year's resolutions as they prepare for a potential playoff run.

Kenny Atkinson framed the move as a scheduling decision, but the deeper lesson came from the tape and the numbers — a young guard consistently making winning plays forced a recalibration of Cleveland’s rotation.

Denver will also be without backup center Jonas Valanciunas (calf). This leaves them with a front-court rotation of just Payton Watson (whose natural position is guard), Specer Jones, Zeke Nnaji, and DaRon Holmes (who’s played just four NBA games in his career). This is something that the Cavs front court should be able to exploit.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had an underwhelming season, which has led to coach Kenny Atkinson to ask better playmaking from his guards.

Just an hour before tipoff, the Cavs added De’Andre Hunter to the injury report with an illness that has been matriculating through the locker room, leaving the team without one of its key wings for Wednesday night’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland reportedly isn't available on the trade block at this time, Jake Fischer wrote for the Stein Line newsletter on Saturday.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson decided to sit Lonzo Ball as an active player for the first time this season in San Antonio.

The Cavaliers didn’t overhaul much after winning 64 games last season. They largely ran it back, trusted internal growth, and accepted the financial consequences that came with continuity.

He’s invaluable. He’s consistent every day with what he does, even when the shots necessarily aren’t falling for him.”
