Summary

Cavs host the Denver Nuggets on January 2nd.
Nuggets' star Nikola Jokic is out due to injury.
Cavs also face absences of Dean Wade and Sam Merrill.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are preparing to host the Denver Nuggets on January 2nd, seeking to extend their winning streak to three games. This crucial matchup, however, will be significantly impacted by the absence of the Nuggets' star player, Nikola Jokic. He is expected to be out for at least four weeks due to a hyperextended left knee suffered on December 29th.

The Cavaliers themselves are not at full strength, having ruled out forward Dean Wade with left knee soreness and guard Sam Merrill due to a left ankle sprain. Despite these challenges, the Cavs have recently secured wins against the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns, with forward De'Andre Hunter available after being listed as probable.

The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Rocket Arena. Fans can watch the game locally on FanDuel Sports Network -- Ohio, stream it on Prime Video, or listen on WTAM (1100-AM) or WMMS (100.7-FM). The Nuggets also have several other players sidelined, including Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon.
