The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday afternoon as part of the MLK Day slate. 

These two organizations are considered top teams in their respective conferences. The Cavs are led by Donovan Mitchell, while the former MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Thunder.

The Thunder started this season looking utterly unstoppable by winning 24 of their first 25 games. Since that point, Oklahoma City has come back down to earth, but it is still a force to be reckoned with.

As for the Cavs, they've been a bit of a disappointment so far. This would certainly be a statement win against the defending champs.
