San Antonio Spurs vs Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to face the San Antonio Spurs on the road in their next NBA matchup. The Cavaliers enter as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Spurs sit 13th in the Western Conference.

The Spurs returned to winning form in their previous game, defeating the Nuggets 113-106 on the road. This victory followed a five-game losing streak, and San Antonio is now hoping to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since January.

With a 61-15 record, the Cavs are one of only two teams to reach the 60-win mark this season, holding a five-game lead over their nearest competitors. After a brief four-game losing streak in March, the Cavaliers appear to have regained their rhythm.
