Cavaliers Looking To Bounce Back Against Jazz
The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Utah Jazz at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Tuesday evening.

The Cavaliers (5-6) are coming off a 101-91 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, and that means they have lost two games in a row while dropping four of their last five. Cleveland shot 45.1 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from three-point range in Monday's contest, but that wasn't enough to secure the win. They didn't have Collin Sexton, Darius Garland and Kevin Love, among others, so they've been quite shorthanded when it comes to depth and that could explain their sudden drop in form. Andre Drummond carried the Cavaliers once again with 19 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal, while Cedi Osman and Damyean Dotson each added 14 points. Larry Nance Jr. contributed 13 points, and Isaac Okoro notched 12 points. With some of their best players out, it remains to be seen whether the Cavaliers might be able to snap their two-game losing run here.

Collin Sexton (ankle) and Darius Garland (shoulder) have been listed as questionable for this game. Meanwhile, Dylan Windler (hand), Kevin Porter (personal), Kevin Love (calf), Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) and Dante Exum (calf) have all been ruled out.

The Jazz (6-4) are coming off a 96-86 win at the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, and that means they've started their second two-game winning run of the season -- they'll look to win three in a row here. Utah shot 42.2 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from three-point range during Sunday's win, and Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley led the Jazz in this game, as both combined for 50 points -- Mitchell ended with 28 points, two rebounds and three assists, while Conley chipped in with 22 points, five boards, six assists, and two steals. Rudy Gobert contributed just four points but made his presence felt defensively with 20 rebounds and four blocks. Jordan Clarkson added 18 points while logging 25 minutes off the bench. Utah are undoubtedly trending in the right direction following a slow start to the season and will aim to clinch their third straight win here.

Utah has Derrick Favors (knee) and Joe Ingles (Achilles) as game-time decisions for Tuesday's contest, while Juwan Morgan (COVID-19) and Jarrell Brantley (undisclosed) are out.
