Times do not get any easier for the out-of-form Cleveland Cavaliers as they travel to face Eastern conference's leaders, the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. The Sixers are coming off a dominant win against the Mavs on Thursday. They showed their Finals credentials on defense, while their bench contributed 46 points.

The Cleveland Cavaliers recently stopped a rut of 10 straight losses by knocking off the Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets this week. However, they are struggling to score with the league's second-worst offense. Therefore, the Cavs will find it hard to extend their winning run when they face the NBA's fifth-best defense.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have recently lacked the depth that helped them get off to a positive start this season. While they actively seek a suitor for Andre Drummond, the franchise have chosen to sit the center.

At the time of writing, there is no up-to-date information regarding the Cavs lineup for Saturday. Kevin Love is expected to be sidelined as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Fellow forward Larry Nance Jr. might also be unavailable, despite being able to complete prematch drills with his finger no longer in a cast, prior to the game against Houston.

Matthew Dellavedova is expected to be out for some time after having his appendix removed, while Taurean Prince has currently been listed as day-to-day.
