We still have more than half of the NBA season ahead of us.
However, the fans might get a glimpse of an NBA Finals preview on Wednesday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Oklahoma City Thunder in a showdown between the two best teams in the league.
When asked about that, Evan Mobley acknowledged that it will be a big challenge to show where the team truly stands (via FanDuel Sports Network Cleveland).

He also believes everybody’s ready to roll and show what they’ve got.
The Cavaliers have won ten games in a row by double digits.
That’s the longest streak in franchise history, and it’s been almost a month since they last failed to beat an opponent by at least ten points.
The Thunder, on the other hand, are currently riding a league-best 15-game winning streak, and that’s despite not having star big man Chet Holmgren during that stretch.
Mark Daigneault’s team could catch the Cavaliers atop the NBA standings with a win, as they would both be tied with a 31-5 record.
Even with a loss, the Cavaliers would continue to have the best record in the Eastern Conference.
Nonetheless, they’re not even thinking about that.
They know how much a win vs. the Thunder could change the narrative around them.
They know they need to make a statement against another championship contender to be considered as such.
