The Cavaliers and Blue Devils square off Monday for the first time in conference play this season.
Isaac McKneely is scoring 13.7 points per game and averaging 2.8 rebounds for the Cavaliers. Dai Dai Ames is averaging 9.8 points and 1.1 rebounds over the last 10 games.
Tyrese Proctor is shooting 41.2% from beyond the arc with 2.4 made 3-pointers per game for the Blue Devils, while averaging 12.2 points. Cooper Flagg is averaging 23.1 points, six rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 steals over the past 10 games.
