#CAVSWIZARDS Game Preview

Thursday, Feb. 22, 2018 8 p.m. ET

The Cavs (34-22) come back from the All-Star Break to play against the Wizards (33-24) at Quicken Loans Arena on Feb. 22 at 8 p.m (ET).

The Cavaliers added a fourth win to their winning streak after defeating Oklahoma City Thunder (120-112). This is the Cavs fourth game scoring at least 120 points. The bench scored 50 points.

In February, the Cavs have become the team to watch. The team's average points for the month are 115.0 points (.49.9 FG%), 25.2 assists (11.3 turnovers) and 42.1% in three-pointers. The Washington Wizards have scored an average of 110 points in the seven games they have played in February.

Last week, the Cavs turned the game around against the Thunder after building a double-digit lead in the third-quarter. LeBron James was the lead scorer, with a total of 37 points. The second wave of players, the newcomers, assisted in closing the deal. Jordan Clarkson scored on a step-back jumper, Rodney Hood destroyed his fourth triple of the night, Jeff Green with 2 free throws and Larry Nance tipping in a layup off his own offensive rebound.

The Wizards also had an impressive win over the Knicks on Wednesday night. After overcoming what many would consider one of the worst halves of their season, the Wizards had the largest comeback of the season and overcame a 27-point deficit. The Wizards defeated the Knicks 118 to 113.

The Wizards have not been the best at blocking shots this season, but they did manage to change their blocking tone against the Knicks. They blocked nine shots, the third-most they have this season.
