Philadelphia 76ers will face off with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 25 January.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 230th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1970 when the Cavaliers were established.
The 76ers have the edge in this rivalry having recorded 118 wins compared to the Cavaliers' 111 victories from 229 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Cavaliers defeat the 76ers 126-99 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, USA on 22 December.
The Cavaliers won their fourth straight and moved to 25-4 while the 76ers fell to 9-17.
Key Players
The 76ers' hopes of securing a win over the Cavaliers will be pinned on Joel Embiid who became the first player in NBA history to score at least 70 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists in a game last season.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, will look to Darius Garland who has been one of the team's best players in the current season having won two Eastern Conference Player of the Week awards.
Quotes
"I know we had a good training camp, but there was no confidence that this thing was gonna go this way. Ultimate surprise, really," head coach Kenny Atkinson said about his team with the Cavaliers placed at the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
"After the preseason we had, I was wondering, like, 'Oh, my gosh, are we [in trouble?]. Seriously, that's how we think as coaches. … I thought it was going to be a fight, a struggle. Obviously we wanted to improve, but there were no signs, right?"
