The new NBA season is just a little under two months away and heading into the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the overwhelming favorites to repeat as the Eastern Conference champions. While every expert expected the Cavaliers to win the NBA title last year, last season was a success for Cleveland considering they played the majority of the playoffs without Kevin Love and five games in the NBA Finals without their point guard, Kyrie Irving. This season, however, it’s championship or bust for the Cavaliers with the tremendous talent they have on their squad. During the offseason, the Cavaliers re-signed Love to a five-year contract, Iman Shumpert is also returning to the team and the Cavs exercised their options with players Timothy Mozgov and Mike Miller. Still, the Cavs are looking to bring back Tristan Thompson but remain $14 million apart as NBA training camp kicks off next week. Below are the top five Cavaliers tickets for the upcoming season on the secondary market according to TicketIQ.
