4. Oklahoma City Thunder, February 21
In their only trip to face the Thunder last season, the Cavs lost after being forced to play without James. In addition, Irving suffered a scary (but temporary) injury that served as a precursor for the remainder of the year. This defeat put an end to the Cavaliers’ eight-game winning streak, with this year’s clash likely to have both teams at full strength.
