Mavericks' All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has been sidelined for 10 straight games due to a right heel injury. In his absence, Luka continued his dominant form scoring past 30 points in 14 of his last 15 games, followed by Seth Curry's 19-point game. On the other hand, the Cavaliers missed the service of their star guard Donovan Mitchell due to an illness against the Mavs.
However, Caris LeVert started off the bench to register 29 points, seven assists with 6-off-11 from the three-point shooting after missing out on the last game with a knee injury. Apart from him, Jarrett Allen recorded 24 points and 23 rebounds followed by Issac Okoro's 22-point game.
