The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off their most impressive offensive performance of the young NBA season. Now they’ll find out whether that momentum can carry over against one of the Western Conference’s most dangerous teams.

Cleveland hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night at Rocket Arena, with both teams entering the matchup at 4-2.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, with the Cavaliers looking to build on Saturday’s 136-111 demolition of the Milwaukee Bucks.

And although Oklahoma City remains a formidable opponent, the Thunder won’t arrive anywhere close to full strength.

The Cavaliers erupted for 48 points in the second quarter against Milwaukee, turning a one-point deficit into a 26-point halftime advantage.

Evan Mobley led Cleveland with 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting, while Jarrett Allen delivered 25 points and 11 rebounds. Donovan Mitchell added 15 points, and James Harden contributed 13 points and seven assists.

The Cavaliers shot 52 percent from the floor, knocked down 20 three-pointers and recorded 41 assists.

That offensive balance could become especially important against an Oklahoma City team dealing with significant injuries.

The Thunder will be without several important rotation players, including Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace.

Holmgren remains sidelined while recovering from a right knee injury, while Williams and Wallace are recovering from surgeries. Caruso is unavailable because of a right ankle sprain.

The absences place additional responsibility on reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who remains one of the NBA’s most difficult players to contain.

For Cleveland, the obvious opportunity comes inside.

With Holmgren unavailable, Mobley and Allen could have opportunities to establish themselves in the paint, although Oklahoma City still has a capable interior defender in Isaiah Hartenstein.

The Cavaliers’ frontcourt was nearly unstoppable against Milwaukee, with Mobley and Allen combining for 52 points on 23-of-32 shooting.

Repeating that efficiency would put considerable pressure on Oklahoma City’s undermanned defense.

Cleveland has injury concerns of its own.

Jaylon Tyson is out with a right ankle sprain, while Nae’Qwan Tomlin remains sidelined by a lower-back stress reaction. Peyton Watson is questionable because of right hamstring soreness.

The matchup also gives Cleveland an opportunity to measure its defensive discipline against Gilgeous-Alexander, whose ability to score in the paint and draw fouls can quickly disrupt an opponent’s game plan.

Keeping the Thunder superstar from controlling the tempo will be just as important as Cleveland’s offensive production.

Monday’s game is also the first of two meetings between the teams in three nights.

The Cavaliers travel to Oklahoma City for Wednesday’s rematch, creating an unusual early-season home-and-home series.

For Cleveland, the immediate objective is straightforward.

Protect the home floor, take advantage of Oklahoma City’s depleted lineup and continue building the offensive chemistry that overwhelmed Milwaukee.

The Cavaliers have already shown how dangerous they can be when Mitchell, Harden, Mobley and Allen are all contributing.

Now they have an opportunity to make an early-season statement against the Thunder.
