Good morning, it’s Monday, January 10th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 22-18 and play the Utah Jazz tonight. The Cavs beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
This is Cleveland’s first game against the Jazz this season. They went 2-0 against the Jazz last year. Former Cavaliers Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love and Georges Niang will be back in the Land.
Today’s Game of the Day
The Lakers (23-13) and Kings (8-30) might not sound like a fun matchup. It’s very likely this game ends up being a blowout. But it’s dawned on me that I’ve hardly chosen any Lakers games as our ‘games of the day’ this season. And, considering we don’t know how much longer we’ll get to watch LeBron James play basketball, we might as well take every opportunity we can.
The Rest of the NBA Slate
This could be a lopsided night of basketball for the NBA. Philly versus Toronto gets an honorable mention.
