Cleveland actually contends for a play-in spot, but finishes as the 11th best team in the East

After winning just 60 games over the last three seasons, I think it is very possible that the Cavaliers could wind up flirting with the play-in tournament this year. Seeing as the 9-seed and 10-seed in both conferences have a shot to earn a playoff spot via the playin tournament, more teams have a shot to earn a playoff spot and the Cavs could be one of those teams. 

Offensively, they will have to be better since they ranked just 28th in Offensive Rating last year, but they have the young talent and they actually have some depth for once to possibly make some noise. Ricky Rubio was a great offseason addition in Cleveland’s backcourt and getting Larry Nance Jr. healthy again should definitely make an impact for them in the second-unit. 

Cedi Osman is still a solid contributor off-the-bench and the Cavaliers may finally be able to get something out of 2019 first-round pick Dylan Windler, who has played just 31 games in the league due to injuries. He was a sharpshooter entering the league and seeing as the Cavs ranked dead-last in the league last year in three-point shooting, they could definitely use a guy like him to boost their offense. 

Overall, Cleveland is not a bad team, they are just young and still developing. With an average age of about 24.8 years-old, they are one of the youngest teams in the entire league, but they have a ton of potential to be something special in the future.

If they can make the necessary adjustments they need to on offense and can remain healthy, the Cavaliers could potentially contend for one of these 9-seed or 10-seed spots in the play-in tournament, but they are still missing a piece or two in order to actually make the playoffs.
