They will be playing at home against the San Antonio Spurs at 1:00 p.m. ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Cavaliers will be strutting in after a win while the Spurs will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to post 12 more assists than your opponent, a fact the Cavaliers proved on Friday. Everything went their way against Washington as Cleveland made off with a 114-90 win. The Cavaliers pushed the score to 84-59 by the end of the third, a deficit the Wizards cut but never quite recovered from.

Meanwhile, the Spurs' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their fourth straight loss. They opened the new year with a less-than-successful 125-121 loss to they. They have not had much luck with the Bucks recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.

Despite the defeat, the Spurs got a solid performance out of Devin Vassell, who went 6 for 9 from beyond the arc en route to 34 points and 4 assists. Victor Wembanyama was another key contributor, scoring 27 points along with nine rebounds and five blocks.
