Atlanta Hawks v Cleveland Cavaliers

Win/Loss column: Cavaliers 0-3, Nets 1-2

Rest: Cavs - 2 days; Nets - 3 days

Tip-off: 7 PM ET, 4:30 AM IST

Preview:

The Cavs have gotten off to a winless start, even getting blown out by barrel scrapers Atlanta Hawks at the Quicken Loans Arena. Kevin Love is unable to find his range or connect on his shots from the post, and their wing depth is of legitimate concern given their playoff aspirations.

The Nets, on the other hand, look increasingly better as their young players Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert, D'Angelo Russell and Jarrett Allen continue to develop. Joe Harris is as good a sharpshooter as any, and the rest of their roster comprises of scrappy players who play out of their skin

Matchup to look out for: Jarrett Allen vs Kevin Love

Prediction: Cavs win a hard-fought game by less than 5 points, with the scores ranging between 120-130.
