Cleveland ranks among the top teams in the league

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the best teams in the league. And if we take into account the last 18 games, they clearly dominate the entire NBA with a 17-1 record. This is helped by the great performance of Donovan Mitchell, who is only in his second season with the club.

He spent his entire previous career with the Utah Jazz and in just two seasons he has put the team among the real top of the league. Last month, he was also named MVP. This season, he is attacking his previous highs in points and is the central figure of his team, as the Cavaliers’ entire game rests on him.

Philadelphia will be put to the test

Philadelphia is in a solid fifth position in the Eastern Conference. Of course, this is due to the great performance of Joel Embiid. However, in the games in which he has been absent, it has been quite the opposite as the team has bought one defeat after another.

In the last game, his teammates finally came to life as they managed to win against the Wizards, but Cleveland is really somewhere else in terms of performance. the 76ers can only surprise. Just like the Lakers, without their mainstays, sensationally defeated the best team of the current season, Boston.
