With Kenny Atkinson as a new coach, and Donovan Mitchell signing an extended contract, the Cavs might be a chance to go deep in the play offs this season.
The Cavs won 48 games last season, and the Vegas Sportsbooks position them at 1.90 to slightly improve to over 48.5 wins in 24/25.

Perhaps the biggest rivalry for the Cavs is that with GSW, and it isn't even a particularly old rivalry.
You don't need to be an NBA historian to remember the four consecutive NBA Finals these 2 played against each other from 2015 onwards. And with the Warriors winning 3 of the 4, including a sweep in 2018, Cleveland fans tend to look forward to betting on their team in the next Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors match up.
The rivalry between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls has been amped up by memorable moments during pivotal games, perhaps none more so than during the 1989 Eastern Conference First Round. In Game 5 of the series, famously known as "The Shot," Michael Jordan hit a game-winning buzzer-beater shot, securing the series victory for the Bulls and leaving a lasting mark on NBA playoff history.
