The Cleveland Cavaliers have the best team in the NBA.
They might not have the most talented roster or the most prominent players, but they have the best team.
That’s why they have the best record in the league.
NBA analyst Sam Amico raved about the team’s second unit and how they’ve been able to find multiple contributors who can step up on any given night (via Full Court Cleveland).
The #Cavs have had different guys show up and help every night. #LetEmKnow
"Whether it's Levert or Ty Jerome, Niang making a defensive play, they've had someone step up."

The Cavaliers have multiple players who have proven to be capable of making a big impact off the bench.
They have also made spot starts when any of the starters have been out, and they have been equally efficient.
Georges Niang is playing the best defense of his career, and his ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shooting is also huge for Kenny Atkinson’s system.
Caris LeVert has always been an instant offensive spark off the bench.
However, he’s also made big strides on the defensive end of the floor this season and has become a much more willing and savvy passer.
Ty Jerome has also been a perennial unsung hero for this team.
His efficient three-level scoring, court vision, and ability to relieve playmaking pressure on Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell have been useful for the Cavs.
This team could still be better, and they might look to make a move or two at the deadline.
But as things stand now, they might have one of the deepest rosters in the game.
