What the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing at the beginning of this season is historic, but they could continue to increase that unbeaten streak they hold, threatening all-time records in the NBA. It's worth taking a calm look at the schedule to discover which teams could challenge Ohio's maintenance as an undefeated team.

Winning the first 12 games of the season entails enormous difficulty and demands impressive quality and collective cohesion. In the NBA, the better things go, the more motivation there is to keep improving, as well as pressure to stay at the top. Cleveland Cavaliers will have to manage those feelings in the upcoming games, knowing they are just four wins away from becoming the second team ever to reach 16 wins and 0 losses in a season.

- Boston Celtics at the Garden will be the Cavs' big litmus test soon

This is a challenging and exciting challenge, as physical and mental fatigue may affect the team soon. They will debut in the NBA Cup 2024 against a Chicago Bulls team in good form, who could be very dangerous, although playing at home could greatly benefit Kenny Atkinson's team. They will then face a match against the Charlotte Hornets where they would have to avoid defeat rather than being beaten by LaMelo's team.

It would be logical to overcome these two hurdles and arrive at the Garden early Wednesday morning with a record of 14-0. This is where we will see one of those games that set trends. Boston Celtics will give 100% to stop the Cavs' streak if they come to that match with it still intact, and to rekindle their dream of the NBA Cup 2024. If they surpass that game, the sky could be the limit for Cleveland Cavaliers, who would then have three home games against lesser opponents, such as the Pelicans, Raptors, and Hawks.

- Cleveland Cavaliers could become the team with the best start to a season in history against the Bucks on December 20

If there is a supreme challenge in the NBA, it is to equal or surpass the current record held by the 2015/16 Warriors, who won 24 straight games to start the season. They could match the record on the night of December 8th against the Miami Heat in Florida, and surpass the Warriors on the night of December 20th at home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
