Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 of their toughest road trips in 2021-22
By John Suchan
The road trip around All-Star Weekend for the Cavs
The Cleveland Cavaliers are hosting the 2022 NBA All-Star Game in February and the Cavs will have a key four-game stretch of outings that includes three games before the All-Star affair and one after the festivities. If the Cavs are still breathing and have a chance at the playoffs these games will go a long way in deciding their fate.
It begins with a game against the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 11 and follows with a next evening matchup at the Philadelphia 76ers. They then fly south to play the rising Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 15th.
The All-Star Game then takes place the weekend of Feb. 19 and 20. The Wine and Gold then from there return on Feb. 24 with a matchup on the road at the Detroit Pistons and the first overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft in Cade Cunningham. This could also be a game for a battle for the 2022 Rookie of the Year Award between Cunningham and the third overall pick in the 2021 draft in Evan Mobley.

If the Cavaliers can, let’s say, double their road wins to let’s say, 18 wins, then they just might get to the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.
