I am ready for it, and I am just going to fight,” Rockets center Alperen Sengun says of physical play from opponents like Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen.

One of the best things about the Cleveland Cavaliers this season is the team’s defense. Not only are they shooting wonderfully, but they are also shutting down most of their opponents. Jarrett Allen is a major part of the team’s defense.

Down by as much as 13 points against the Rockets, the Cavs found a defensive spark in their zone-based scheme from big man Jarrett Allen.

After a brutal three-game road trip, the Sixers will return home on Friday night as losers of seven contests in a row. Things will not get any easier, as they will face the Eastern Conference-best Cleveland Cavaliers, who trashed the Sixers in Cleveland last month.

Jarrett Allen's rebound Over looks awfully appetizing on this Friday night based on the matchup with the Sixers and the injury situation in Cleveland. That and more in Andrew Caley's three-pack of NBA props for this evening.

Cleveland looks to stop its three-game slide when the Cleveland Cavaliers take on Detroit. Monday's meeting is the first this season between the squads.

After Evan Mobley missed several games due to a nagging calf injury, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson gave an update on the star big man.

Allen put up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 boards, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 32 minutes of action during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to the Rockets. The big man has taken on a larger role on both ends as Evan Mobley (calf) remains sidelined,

The Cleveland Cavs learned they have an All-Star starter. Will their wish for the other members of the core four to join Donovan Mitchell be granted?

The depleted 76ers' season is spiraling out of control, and the last thing they need is a matchup with the class of the conference in the Cavaliers. Look for Cleveland to keep Philly's offense contained.

In a bizarre finish, the Rockets (29-14) had a huge win over the Cavs (36-7). Alperen Sengun made his late free throws, and Darius Garland did not.

With the Cavaliers down two points, Darius Garland, their potential All-Star guard and 90 percent free-throw shooter, sat alone at the line with the chance to give Cleveland the lead. Even if he failed to make all three free throws, Cleveland, via a Flagrant One on the Rockets, would have the ball with a chance to seal the game.
