What to Know

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Atlanta Hawks and are hoping to record their first win since Oct. 23 of last year. Cleveland is getting right back to it as they host Atlanta at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 21 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Cavaliers are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.

Everything went Cleveland's way against the Miami Heat on Sunday as they made off with a 113-87 victory. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Cleveland had established a 95-64 advantage. Point guard Darius Garland and small forward Cedi Osman were among the main playmakers for Cleveland as the former had 25 points and seven assists and the latter posted a double-double on 20 points and 12 boards.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but the Hawks ultimately got the result they were hoping for this past Saturday with a 124-122 win over the Toronto Raptors. Atlanta's point guard Trae Young did his thing and dropped a double-double on 33 points and 12 dimes.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 10-6. Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
