KEY GAME INFORMATION

CLEVELAND: LAST SEASON: 50-32, lost in NBA Finals.
COACH: Tyronn Lue (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G George Hill (10.0 ppg), G Rodney Hood (14.7 ppg), F Kevin Love (17.6 ppg), F Cedi Osman (3.9 ppg), C Tristan Thompson (5.8 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F LeBron James, F Jeff Green, G Jose Calderon
KEY ADDITIONS: Rookie G Collin Sexton, F David Nwaba, F Sam Dekker
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Sexton and Osman. The No. 8 overall pick in the NBA draft, Sexton could fill the massive void left when the Cavs granted Kyrie Irving's trade demand and dealt him to Boston last year. Hill can adequately hold down the fort while Sexton, more of a slasher than shooter, develops. Lue will be patient with Sexton, but it may not take long for him to force his way into the starting lineup. Osman has the misfortune of being the player to take the spot owned by James. But the 23-year-old is fearless, very talented and he learned a ton while being teammates with the world's best player.
OUTLOOK: Forget the Finals. After four straight June matchups with Golden State, the Cavs will have a tough time even making the playoffs. Love has gone from being the third option, to the second to the first and it will be interesting to see if the All-Star can carry the Cavs the way he carried Minnesota for six seasons. The Cavs have no intention of tanking, and head into the season trying to stay competitive while developing young players ' and that's not easy.

DENVER: LAST SEASON: 46-36, missed playoffs.
COACH: Michael Malone (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Gary Harris (17.5 ppg) G Jamal Murray (16.7 ppg), F Will Barton (15.7 ppg), F Paul Millsap (14.6 ppg), C Nikola Jokic (18.5 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Wilson Chandler, F Kenneth Faried, F Richard Jefferson, F Darrell Arthur, G Devin Harris
KEY ADDITIONS: G Isaiah Thomas, F Michael Porter Jr.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: In the offseason, Jokic signed a max deal contract worth around $147 million for five seasons. He's one of the top big men in the game. The Serbian standout turned in 10 triple-doubles last season, including the fastest triple-double in NBA history. He needed just 14 minutes, 55 seconds to reach the accomplishment at Milwaukee on Feb. 15. Jokic is the centerpiece for an organization trying to get to the postseason for the first time since 2012-13.
OUTLOOK: The addition of Thomas gives the Nuggets even more veteran leadership. They're stacked, but so is the rest of the Western Division. Denver has improved each season under Malone, going from 33 wins his first year, to 40 in 2016-17 and 46 last season. The Nuggets lost out on the eighth and final playoff spot in '17-18 when they lost in overtime at Minnesota on the final game of the regular season.

PREVIEW

Nuggets have eyes open as Cavs visit

The Denver Nuggets shook off a blowout loss on Tuesday to rout the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Now they will try to end their homestand Saturday with a win over the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers.

Denver routed the Bulls and got a day off to rest before the last of their four-game set at Pepsi Center. The Nuggets have a chance to finish 3-1 if they can beat a Cavaliers team coming off a 115-99 loss at Utah on Friday night.

The Nuggets (30-14) suffered bruised egos when the Warriors came in and beat them by 31 to take over the top spot in the Western Conference. The humbling game could have carried over to Thursday, but Denver bounced back against Chicago.

It was the needed response.

"We needed to wake up to try to play like we were supposed to play, not just this game but every game," center Nikola Jokic said after the win over the Bulls. "When we got to the other gear, we played the right way."

Cleveland (9-37) is heading in a different direction.

The Cavaliers ended a 12-game losing streak with a win at the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night but have lost to Portland and the Jazz. After four straight trips to the NBA Finals and a title in 2016, Cleveland has the worst record in the league

A big reason, of course, is hometown hero LeBron James packing up and heading to the Lakers. It was the second time he left the Cavaliers for warmer climates, but general manager David Griffin says the team is in a better place than eight years ago when James signed with Miami.

"Think back to what it was like when LeBron left (in 2010)," Griffin told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It was an emotional storm. The whole city was galvanized (against James). The goal was to make the playoffs without him."

The playoffs aren't in the cards this season, but the Cavs do have some pieces. Unfortunately for them, the biggest piece, forward Kevin Love, has played in just four games due to a toe injury. He is likely out until after the All-Star break.

Denver went through similar -- but not as severe -- growing pains over the past five years. After winning 57 games in 2012-13, the team fired coach George Karl and injuries mounted. Brian Shaw was the head coach before being fired midway through his second season, and Michael Malone was hired after the 2015-16 season.

Denver has improved every season under Malone but finished just outside the playoffs in each of the past two years. Barring a collapse, the Nuggets will reach the postseason this year in large part because of an improved defense.

Denver also has learned the lesson of not taking lesser teams lightly. That was a problem in the past two years but not this season. The Nuggets know they have to win games like this, and facing a Cleveland team coming in on the second of a back-to-back set is a perfect chance to pad their playoff positioning.
