Cavaliers and Celtics Set for NBA Cup Match

The Cleveland Cavaliers have made history with a 15-0 start to the season, second only to the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors. Ty Jerome has emerged as a key player, averaging 11.8 points per game and showcasing a rapid transformation into a scoring threat, particularly in light of recent injuries to key players like Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro. As they prepare to face the Boston Celtics, who are missing several players due to injuries, including their defensive anchor Kristaps Porzingis, both teams are vying for a critical win in the NBA Cup group stage. The Cavaliers' depth will be challenged in this matchup, but star player Donovan Mitchell has been rested and is expected to lead the team. Coach Kenny Atkinson has expressed the significance of this game for the franchise, emphasizing the need to overcome Boston's offensive capabilities. The outcome of this game could significantly impact both teams' paths in the tournament, with Cleveland aiming to solidify their position in the group.
