The Brooklyn Nets take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Monday night.

The Nets (8-8) have had an uneven start to the season, but they've actually been surging of late despite a couple of key injuries. Brooklyn has rattled off three consecutive victories, with their most recent success a narrow 103-101 win over the New York Knicks. Spencer Dinwiddie led the Nets with 30 points and added four rebounds and four assists. Jarrett Allen generated an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included one assist and one steal. Taurean Prince managed 14 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Joe Harris poured in 13 points, while Garrett Temple totaled 12 points and two steals.

The Nets will continue to be without Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Caris LeVert (thumb) and Wilson Chandler (suspension) for Monday's game.

The Cavaliers (5-11) played surprisingly well to open the season, but they'll come into Monday's game having just snapped a six-game losing streak with a 110-104 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night. Jordan Clarkson paced the Cavaliers with 28 points, adding three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Tristan Thompson provided 25 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two steals. Collin Sexton managed 19 points, four boards and three steals. Larry Nance, Jr. furnished 11 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Darius Garland supplied nine points.

The Cavaliers will list Kevin Love (back) as questionable for Monday's game, while John Henson (hamstring) is likely to carry the same designation at best.

The Nets won the the four-game 2018-19 season series between the teams by a 3-1 margin. Monday's game marks the first of three 2019-20 meetings for Brooklyn and Cleveland.
