The Cavaliers enter this season with high hopes after a 48-win season that saw them secure the fourth seed in the East despite battling injuries throughout the year. Donovan Mitchell was the standout performer, leading the team with 26.6 points, 6.1 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game, but injuries to key players like Darius Garland and others hampered Cleveland’s ability to make a deep playoff run.
The Cavaliers parted ways with head coach JB Bickerstaff, hiring Kenny Atkinson to take the reins. The team retained its core, re-signing Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, and added rookie Jaylon Tyson, a versatile wing, with the 20th overall pick.
This season will largely hinge on the development of Mobley and how well Atkinson can get this young squad to gel. Mobley, entering his third year, needs to expand his offensive game, while the fit between Mitchell and Garland will continue to be scrutinized, particularly late in games. With solid health, this team has the potential to surpass 50 wins and be a sneaky contender in the Eastern Conference.
DraftKings Sportsbook reflects their middling chances, giving the Cavs +6000 odds to win the NBA Finals and +2200 odds to win the Eastern Conference. Their regular-season win total is set at 48.5, and they’re listed at +4500 to finish with the most regular-season wins. This team has a strong foundation, but whether they can break into the upper echelon of the East remains to be seen.
