The Spurs (31-40) have shut down All-Star F/C Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) for the remainder of the season and are on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention. On Tuesday, San Antonio was outscored by 26 points during the first half of a 122-96 road loss against Detroit. 

San Antonio G Devin Vassell tallied a team-high 26 points (10-21 FG) and six rebounds. Rookie G Stephon Castle added 19 points (7-15 FG) and four assists for the Spurs, who shot a frigid 36 percent from the field. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won 30 of their first 35 home games and trail Oklahoma City by two games for the best overall record in the NBA. The Cavaliers (58-14) lead the league in offensive efficiency and are scoring 122.3 points per contest. On Tuesday, Cleveland assisted on 28 of 48 made field goals and shot 55 percent overall during a 122-111 road victory against Portland. 

All-Star G Darius Garland led all scorers with 27 points on 11-for-19 shooting and dished out eight assists. Ty Jerome scored 25 points (9-15 FG) in just 21 minutes off the Cleveland bench. All-Star F Evan Mobley added 21 points (8-15 FG) and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers. 

San Antonio G De’Aaron Fox (finger) will not play again this season and Cleveland F Evan Mobley (rest) will not play in this contest. The Cavaliers rank 7th in the league in defensive efficiency, but that will suffer without Mobley’s versatility. Look for Cleveland to rely on their offense and win at home in a game that soars over the total. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Cavaliers win 130-117.
