Cavaliers Are -5.7 Per Game Over Their Last 10
A team that has outscored opponents all season is suddenly losing games by nearly six points a night.
Over their last 10 games, the Cavaliers are being outscored by 5.7 points per game. For the season, they are plus-2.8. That is an 8.5-point swing between the full-season number and the most recent stretch.
A positive season margin means Cleveland has outscored opponents across 100 games in 2025-26. A negative margin over the last 10 means that trend has reversed, not just slowed. Losing by 5.7 points a game on average is a sustained gap, not one bad night, since it shows up across a full 10-game sample.
For this to hold, the Cavaliers need their per-game margin to stay negative over their next stretch of games, pulling the season number down with them. Ten games is enough to count as a real shift rather than noise. If it continues, the plus-2.8 season mark will keep shrinking toward zero and eventually cross it.
For it to reverse, Cleveland needs to outscore opponents again on a nightly basis, the way it did over the rest of the season to build that plus-2.8 mark in the first place. A single win would not be enough by itself. The swing that produced minus-5.7 came game by game, and reversing it will take the same.
Right now, the last 10 games are the more recent signal. The season mark is still positive, but it was built earlier, over more games, and it is being pulled down every night the current stretch continues.
