Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are sitting in second place on the Western Conference standings having recorded four victories and two defeats.

They succumbed to a 103-83 defeat to Orlando Magic in their last away match which was played on 5 January 2021.

J.B. Bickerstaff, the Cavaliers head coach, has hit back at criticisms of shooting guard Collin Sexton, who is averaging a career-best 26.0 points, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.

"Collin is a great human being. He’s a great teammate and all he cares about is the right thing — winning basketball games and competing. That’s all that matters to him," Bickerstaff said.

“For those who criticize him, it’s a shame to be honest with you. Ninety percent of our league can’t roll out of bed and get you 20 points. He can. If you can’t appreciate that and respect that,

"That’s on you. That’s not on Collin. And is he gonna continue to grow and get better? Yes. That’s our job to help him. But to say anything negative about that kid is more commentary on those people than it is on Collin.”
