CLE vs UTA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz

CLE vs UTA Dream11:This promises to be an exciting encounter as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Utah Jazz. Cleveland is three games over the 50% win mark and is on a four-game winning streak while the Jazz is eight games above the 50% win mark and have won three games in a row. Who will stop whose streak here?

Cavaliers have done better than expected especially after losing Sexton. Ironically, the team’s passing seems to have improved ever since Sexton has been out and on the offensive side, Cleveland has been hugely impressive. I will outline more reasons for their success in the subsequent sections.

Utah has double more wins than losses and that is not a surprise. The team had the best record in the league last season and the squad has returned with pretty much the same core. Jazz is one of the deepest and versatile units out there.

Host: Cleveland Cavaliers
Visitors: Utah Jazz
Match Timing: 6 December, @ 02:00 AM
Venue: Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Cavaliers: Garland factor, three-big frontline
In the so-called “pace and space” era and “small ball” style game, you’d laugh at the Cavs for fielding three bigs in the starting lineup. The Cavs have Mobley, Allen, and Markkanen whose height span around 6 feet 10 inches or so, players who are all labeled as either Center or Power Forward. The Cavaliers get the size, helping to scoop rebounds, long hands in terms of defense, and these three players have been instrumental so far. With Garland running the point, all these bigs have to do is carve out space inside in the case of Allen and Mobley and usually around the perimeter for Lauri. Cavs have played some inspirational basketball lately and their “unique” experiment of three bigs has worked.

Jazz: Oppositions must envy the team balance
When you insert a superb iso scorer, three knockdown shooters, and someone who can finish in the paint, you are going to thrive in the space and pace era. With Conley at point, Mitchell at off-guard, Bogdanovic and Neale at the wing, and Gobert in the middle, that is exactly what the Jazz has done. Now, if you take into the bench mob of Clarkson, Ingles, Gay, and Whiteside, you get four players who were former starters in the league, and thus, Utah also presents an incredible balance as Clarkson, Ingles, and Gay are also capable shooters from outside.
