Entering Wednesday, James Harden and the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers had 28 games remaining in the regular season, with 13 of those games against NBA teams that are tanking, according to Yahoo Sports' Tom Haberstroh.
Haberstroh calculated that only the Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic have as many games remaining against tankers. In Haberstroh's eyes, this gives the Cavs a good chance to make a run at the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
