The Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team in the NBA that went over its preseason win total before the All-Star Game.
The Cavaliers are 35-23 and fourth in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland is also one of three teams just 2.5 games back of the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls for the top seed in the conference as the top seven teams are all within five games of each other.
It’s safe to say that oddsmakers were not expecting a playoff season from the Cavaliers. Cleveland entered the season with a win total of 26.
