Cavaliers and Thunder Tangle in OKC
The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday night.

The Cavaliers (13-38) check into Wednesday's game in the middle of an abysmal stretch of play, as they've dropped 11 of their last 12 games. Their most recent stumble was a tightly contested 139-134 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night. Kevin Love led the way with a 33-point, 13-rebound double-double that also included six assists and one block. Collin Sexton provided 29 points, seven assists, two rebounds and one steal. Larry Nance, Jr. delivered 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists and one block. Cedi Osman mustered 15 points, four rebounds and two assists. Darius Garland and Kevin Porter, Jr. contributed 14 and 12 points, respectively.

The Cavaliers will likely list Tristan Thompson (quadriceps) as no better than questionable for Wednesday's game. Ante Zizic (illness) is expected to remain out.

The Thunder (30-20) come into Wednesday's interconference matchup running hot, as they've prevailed in seven of the last eight contests. Their most recent success came at the expense of the Phoenix Suns, which they toppled by a 111-107 score Friday night. Danilo Gallinari paced the Thunder with 27 points, complementing them with four rebounds. Dennis Schroder followed with 24 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals. Chris Paul generated a 20-point, 10-assist double-double that also included six assists and three steals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 12 points, nine boards, four assists and one block. Nerlens Noel supplied 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block.

The Thunder will continue without Andre Roberson (knee) for Wednesday's contest.

Wednesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Thunder holds a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 121-106 win Jan. 4.
