How To Watch Cavaliers vs Trail Blazers Free Live Stream

The No. 1-ranked Cleveland Cavaliers are heading to Portland tonight in what could be a crucial matchup for both teams.

Cleveland enters with an impressive 57-14 record, while the struggling Trail Blazers sit at just 32-40 on the season.

The Cavs are 6.5-point favorites on the road, according to BetOnline.

## Game Details

The cross-conference showdown tips off at 10 p.m. ET from the Moda Center in Portland.

Fans can catch the action on NBA League Pass or stream it free on Jazz Sports.

## Injury Concerns

The Cavaliers will be shorthanded tonight. Star guard Donovan Mitchell has been downgraded to out with a groin issue, while Darius Garland is day-to-day as he gets some rest.

Portland has its own health problems. Dalano Banton (illness), Jerami Grant (knee), and Deandre Ayton (calf) are all questionable for tonight’s game. Robert Williams III remains out indefinitely with a knee injury.

## Cavs Looking to Build Momentum

Cleveland has been solid on the road this season with a 27-9 record. They’re 6-4 in their last 10 games, putting up nearly 116 points per contest during that stretch.

The team is coming off a convincing 120-91 win against Utah on Sunday, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson isn’t worried about their recent struggles.

“This stretch here, we haven’t played great, obviously,” Atkinson said. “We’re in a tough stretch of the schedule, but I will take the other 97% of the season, and I know who this team is and what we need to do. I’m not going to overreact to it.”

## Portland’s Playoff Hopes Fading

The Blazers have been decent at home (20-17) but struggle as underdogs with a 23-38 record in that role.

They’re running out of time to make a playoff push. Portland sits three games behind both Phoenix and Dallas for the final Western Conference play-in spot.

Their four-game winning streak came to a crashing halt Sunday when they lost 129-116 to Boston—a Celtics team that was missing three starters.

## History Favors Cleveland

The Cavaliers have dominated this matchup recently, winning six of their last seven against Portland.

ESPN’s Basketball Power Index gives Cleveland a 73.6% chance of winning tonight.

The Blazers have also struggled in Tuesday games, going just 6-14 in their last 20 Tuesday matchups.

With Mitchell sidelined and Portland desperate for a win, this could be closer than the odds suggest—but history and momentum point to a Cavaliers victory.
