The Cavs enter the night looking to end a three-game losing streak. 

They struggled at the end of their trip to California by losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors. 

Before the losing streak, they had won eight games in a row, so they are still 8-4 in the 12 games that they have played in this season.

Currently, they are the third seed in the Eastern Conference and a perfect 4-0 at home. 

Against the Timberwolves, they will be without their best player Mitchell, who is averaging 31.6 points per contest in his first 11 games with the Cavs. 

Missing Allen is also a big deal because he is vital to both their defense and offense.

They will have All-Star point guard Darius Garland available, and the former Vanderbilt star is averaging 16.2 points, 8.3 assists and 1.2 steals per contest. 

As for the Timberwolves, they enter the night with a 5-8 record in their first 13 games and are also in the middle of a three-game losing streak.
