They will square off against the Philadelphia 76ers at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center. The 76ers are favored, but seeing as the odds didn't stop the Cavaliers in their last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.

On Sunday, Cleveland earned a 121-109 win over Denver.

The Cavaliers' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Craig Porter Jr., who scored 21 points.
