1. Golden State Warriors, December 25
Even though this news was already leaked, this game will still be the biggest matchup of the regular season for the Cavaliers. That’s because for much of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Cavs were going toe-to-toe with the Warriors on their homecourt. That was until Irving’s season-ending injury changed the course of the series. So this should give the Cavs a good indication of where they stand.
The Cavaliers’ longest homestand will be five games, from February 5-18, though the last clash will take place after the one-week All-Star break. Three other four-game homestands are also part of the schedule, while the longest road trip will span six games from January 5-15.
