The Brooklyn Nets, currently at 4-5, are set to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, aiming to hand them their first loss of the 2024-25 season. The Nets come off a close game against the Boston Celtics but will be missing key players, including Ben Simmons, who has been crucial in recent performances.

On the Cavaliers' side, they are also dealing with injuries, particularly to Max Strus, who has yet to play this season. Despite this, the Cavaliers have maintained strong performances, showcasing their depth and resilience. The matchup is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST tonight.
