The Cavaliers will try to follow up Friday’s convincing win with another when they host the Mavericks on Sunday afternoon.

Cleveland handled business in Dallas two nights ago, rolling to a 138-105 victory behind a big performance from Evan Mobley.

Mobley tied his season high with 29 points and set the tone early as the Cavs took control and never really let the Mavericks believe they had a shot.

Now the teams meet again to close out the home-and-home set.

The Cavs enter at 41-26 and have been gaining momentum as the regular season winds down. Dallas, meanwhile, sits at 21-45 and is playing out the string.
