Good morning, itโs Sunday, February 1st. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 29-21 and play the Portland Trail Blazers on the road tonight. Cleveland lost to the Suns on Friday in a blowout defeat.
This is Clevelandโs final game against the Blazers this season. They lost their previous match to Portland 122-110 in December. Caleb Love and Shaedon Sharpe combined for 40 points off the bench in that one.

Also, the Cavs made a pretty big trade last night, sending DeโAndre Hunter to the Sacremento Kings for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis.
