The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the biggest stories in the Eastern Conference this season. The Cavs are one of the youngest, most exciting teams in the league and are likely only going to get better as the season unravels.

They added backcourt insurance at the NBA Trade Deadline in Caris LeVert and this will be a team that all eyes will be on once the postseason starts. They’ll have the chance to play spoiler in the postseason if they can continue to play at this elevated level.

The duo of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley is getting better and better and could go on to make names for themselves if they have a big showing in the postseason.
