The Cleveland Cavaliers have Collin Sexton and Darius Garland back but both players have been trying to blend in along with their newly acquired players from the most recent trade. Andre Drummond has maximized the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns and dominated in the paint with 25 points and 22 rebounds. Larry Nance Jr. also contributed 16 boards but only had 2 points. Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen has been struggling to find their way in the Cavaliers system and found themselves coming off the bench with limited minutes. This team has a lot of good pieces and it is now up to the coach to mix everything.
