Jaylon Tyson's right ankle has improved from out to an estimated return on November 2, the date of the Thunder game. Cleveland hosts Oklahoma City, then travels there on November 4.
Will Jaylon Tyson play against the Thunder?
His status was upgraded from out, with an estimated return of November 2. That is an estimate, not a clearance. This season he has played five games, averaging 20.7 minutes and 7.8 points, a small sample. By our count, one of three newly listed Cavaliers missed the next game, while leaguewide the rate is 58 percent.
How shorthanded is Oklahoma City?
Six Thunder players are listed out: Holmgren, Williams, Sorber, Caruso, Topic and Wallace. The Thunder are 4-2 but have lost two straight, with a net rating of minus 0.7 against Cleveland's plus 4.3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander still averages 26.0 points through six games, so the Cavaliers face a thin roster with a proven scorer.
Was the Bucks win a real signal?
Partly. Cleveland won 136-111 and led by 36 after a 48-point second quarter. Evan Mobley scored 27 and Jarrett Allen added 25 with 11 rebounds, while Donovan Mitchell was plus-31 in 25 minutes. Starters scored 85 points. One lopsided road game is one game, but the inside scoring is what Cleveland has needed.
What does 4-2 actually buy Cleveland?
A fourth seed, level with the sixth-place Wizards at 3-3 and two games ahead of 11th. The pace projects to 55-27, but six games is thin evidence. The power rankings had Cleveland 14th on October 31, so outsiders are not sold. The 76ers on November 6 and the Knicks on November 7 follow the Thunder games.
When do the Cavaliers play the Thunder next?
Cleveland hosts Oklahoma City on November 2 and plays at Oklahoma City on November 4.
What is the Cavaliers' record this season?
Cleveland is 4-2 and holds the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference after a 136-111 win at Milwaukee.
