The Wine & Gold travel to California's capital on Thursday to face the Sacramento Kings. Tipoff from the Golden 1 Center is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. (ET).
While the Cavaliers are still searching for their first win of this five-game roadie, the squad has been playing their opponents tough over the last three games averaging 110.3 points which includes 61.3 points in the paint.
In their most recent game - a 122-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns - Cleveland was solid off the bench, scoring 55 points on Monday. The reserves have now recorded at least 40 points in a season-high tying eight straight games. The last time the Cavs’ bench recorded nine straight games of 40+ points was back in the fall of 2010 (nine games from November 5-23).
Cleveland's bench boss, Jordan Clarkson, has been a big reason why the Cavs' reserves have seen so successful. Against Phoenix on Monday, J.C. finished the evening with 20 points (8-16 FG), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes. With his sixth point against the Suns, Clarkson (1,314 pts) reached 1,300 points for the season - just the 19th time a player scored 1,300+ points off the bench in a season.
