Cavaliers and 76ers Meet in Conference Battle
The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.

The Cavaliers (5-16) come into Saturday's game in a skid that's worthy of their abysmal record, as they've dropped 11 of 12 consecutive games, including five straight. Cleveland's most recent stumble came against the Orlando Magic, which toppled them by a 93-87 score on Friday night. Collin Sexton paced the Cavaliers with 19 points and also posted three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Cedi Osman furnished 14 points, five rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block. Kevin Porter, Jr. poured in 12 points and posted four rebounds, while Tristan Thompson pitched in 10 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks.

The Cavaliers will likely list Kevin Love (illness) as questionable at best after he missed Friday's game.

The 76ers (15-7) check into Saturday's game largely playing stellar basketball, as they boast an 8-2 record over their last 10 contests. However, one of their two losses during that span came their last time on the court, as they dropped a 119-113 decision to the Washington Wizards on Thursday night. Tobias Harris paced the 76ers with 33 points, adding seven rebounds, three assists and one block. Joel Embiid generated a 26-point, 21-rebound double-double that also included one assist and one block. Ben Simmons produced 17 points, 10 assists, five boards and three steals. Al Horford and Raul Neto posted matching 11-point tallies, with Horford adding five boards, one assist, one steal and one block.

The 76ers will be without Josh Richardson (hamstring) and Embiid (hip) for Saturday's game.

Saturday's game is the third of four meetings between the teams this season. The 76ers own a 2-0 series lead, having notched 98-97 and 114-95 wins on Nov. 12 and 17, respectively.
