Washington at Cleveland

February 11, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

The Wizards are far more about roster prioritizing development and draft position than they are about winning. But Washington doesn't have to win here. All the Wizards have to do is take advantage of a golden opportunity and a huge point spread. The Cavaliers are finally home after five road games in 12 days, culminating in a 119-117 upset victory over the Nuggets on Monday night. Cleveland came back from 10 points down in the final seven minutes to pull out that win. The Cavaliers can be excused if their focus isn't entirely there for this game, the final one for them before the All-Star break. Cleveland center Eric Mobley remains out with a calf injury. Mobley is the Cavaliers' top rebounder, best shot blocker, and third leading scorer. Take the Wizards.
