Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert and Sam Merrill all reached double-figures off the bench as well, and Cleveland shot 52.8% from the floor as a team and went 22-of-23 from the free-throw line. The Cavs have now won 11 of their last 12 games. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about the Grizzlies
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies fell 103-94 to the Sacramento Kings on Monday. Memphis led by 15 in the first quarter but had a horrific shooting performance overall, shooting 37.5% from the floor as a team. Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 22 points but went 6-for-18 from the floor, and the Grizzlies were throughly dominated on the glass.
They lost the rebounding battle 51-37, and Domantas Sabonis had 26 rebounds all by himself. With twin towers Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen to deal with on Thursday night, they'll need to put together a much more complete performance down low. As has seemingly been the case all year, Memphis will be severely undermanned again on Thursday as Desmond Bane (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger) are out, while Luke Kennard (knee) is doubtful.

Key Betting Info
