Where to Watch Livestream, TV Channel, Time and Preview
The Cleveland Cavaliers (36-21) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (43-14) at Paycom Center on Sunday, February 22, 2026, in a marquee NBA regular-season clash between two of the league’s top teams. Tip-off is set for 1:00 p.m. ET (12:00 p.m. CT), with the game nationally televised on ABC and available via livestream on multiple platforms.
This matchup pits Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren in what promises to be a high-energy contest featuring elite defense, transition scoring and star power. Both clubs enter with strong records — Cleveland on a seven-game winning streak and OKC holding one of the league’s best home marks — making this a potential playoff preview in the 2025-26 season.

Game Preview and Key Storylines
The Cavaliers bring momentum after a dominant stretch, led by Mitchell’s scoring (averaging 28+ points recently) and Mobley’s defensive anchor role. Cleveland ranks among the league’s top defensive units and excels in transition, traits that could challenge OKC’s pace-and-space style.
The Thunder, defending Western Conference frontrunners, rely on Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-caliber play (30+ points in multiple recent outings) and Holmgren’s rim protection. Playing at home, OKC boasts one of the league’s best records and thrives in high-profile matchups.
Injury reports are minimal heading into tip-off: Cleveland lists Thomas Sorber (knee) as out, while OKC has Ajay Mitchell questionable. Both teams are otherwise healthy, setting up a full-strength battle.
Head-to-Head Context
This is the second meeting of the season. OKC won the first contest on January 19, 2026, 136-104 in Cleveland, led by Gilgeous-Alexander’s 30 points. The Thunder controlled that game from start to finish, exploiting Cleveland’s interior defense.
Revenge is on the line for the Cavaliers, who seek to prove their seven-game streak is no fluke against a top contender. For OKC, a win would reinforce their status as championship contenders.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams discusses market impacts of the Iran War, inflation outlook and more on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
Americans are facing a tale of two grocery lists.
While some prices are cooling, the items families rely on most for energy and nutrition — meat and coffee — are seeing sharp increases that wipe out any savings in the bread aisle.
Fourteen of the 25 most common grocery store staples rose in price from February 2024 to February 2026, with the top five largest increases coming from coffee (+55%), lettuce (+39%), ground beef (+31%), sirloin steak (+21%) and orange juice (+15%), according to a new report from CouponFollow that analyzed Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from the past two years.
Coffee was the fastest-rising staple in the study, with a pound of ground roast costing $6.09 in 2024 compared to $9.46 in 2026. Going back to 2020, coffee prices have reportedly increased 123%.
JAMIE DIMON WARNS IRAN WAR COULD DRIVE INFLATION, INTEREST RATES HIGHER
Ground beef has hit $6.74 per pound, a 31% increase from 2024 and 74% above pre-pandemic levels.

With ground beef prices in mind, CouponFollow ran a “taco night test,” tracking specific meal scenarios to show how inflation affects consumers. A family of four is paying nearly $25 just for basic taco ingredients, compared to just $17.50 six years ago.
If you can live on eggs and toast, your bill might be lower than it was two years ago, with egg prices decreasing the most (-17%), followed by white bread (-8%), spaghetti (-8%) and butter (-7%).
Still, the report warns that “the items still climbing are rising fast enough to offset those declines.”
‘The Big Money Show’ discusses the growing trend of young adults getting financial help from their parents.
“Grocery inflation isn’t going away overnight, but small changes to how and where you shop can add up fast. Paying attention to which categories are rising and which are cooling, stocking up on pantry staples when prices dip, and being flexible with pricier proteins are all easy ways to stretch your grocery budget a little further,” CouponFollow notes. “Stacking those habits with coupons and deals can make an even bigger dent in your weekly bill.”
Economic experts have also recently cautioned that high oil prices due to the Iran war are pushing gasoline prices higher, and that could lead to grocery bills rising for American consumers.
The increase in oil, gas and diesel prices raises transportation costs for businesses, including grocery stores, which may face pressure to raise food prices and other items if the situation continues.

Federal Reserve Board Gov. Michelle Bowman discusses where interest rates are going and the job market performance on ‘Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street.’
“Every time something moves in the economy, it will cost more,” said Derek Reisfield, co-founder of MarketWatch and a former McKinsey consultant. “Someone, usually the end consumer, will have to pay for that.”
Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon, previously told FOX Business: “For U.S. consumers, what this means is that while there is currently a price shock at the pump being felt directly by consumers, there’s still uncertainty as to how long this shock will last.”
