The Cavaliers host the Mavericks and the Heat welcome the Pistons on Saturday, with both Cleveland and Miami playing the second night of a back-to-back. An FAA ground stop stranded Cleveland in Miami overnight; the team was expected to fly back Saturday morning, arriving less than eight hours before tipoff. Dallas is coming off a 133-94 loss to Minnesota, while Cleveland lost 133-121 to Miami; one preview picks Dallas as a short underdog, and another favors Detroit to cover, citing Miami’s workload and the Pistons’ earlier 17-point win over the Heat, while also seeing potential for a high-scoring game. Separately, New Orleans is looking to improve a defense that has allowed at least 138 points in four straight games ahead of its matchup with Denver.

FAA Ground Stop Delays Cavaliers’ Return to Cleveland

Cleveland arranged an early flight home but followed the travel scramble with a 133-121 loss to Miami, then prepared to host Dallas as scheduled.
