Good morning, it’s the first day of 2026. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 19-16 and host the Denver Nuggets tomorrow. They beat the Phoenix Suns yesterday.
Today’s Game of the Day
The Celtics have won 7 of their last 10 games and are on the road against the 8-25 Kings. This matchup might not be super competitive if Boston continues their hot streak, but it’s worth checking out as there aren’t many other games on and it’s a chance to get a glimpse at one of the Eastern Conference’s strongest teams.
Boston has overperformed at the start of the season and could be a dark-horse contender if Jayson Tatum can return this season and rally his team back to a deep playoff push.
