MILWAUKEE -- Take a glance at the NBA standings after the first two weeks and you'll be greeted by a surprising sight: The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference at 3-4. 

The situation isn't ideal. Just a handful of games into the 2021-22 NBA season, Joel Embiid's health is already a concern for the Philadelphia 76ers.. If you recall, Embiid suffered a right meniscus tear in the first round of last season's playoffs against the Washington Wizards. The All-Star center missed a game as a result of the injury, but he returned for Philadelphia's second-round matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and played in all seven games of that series. 

Cleveland will have revenge on its mind when it visits Charlotte on Monday night. The Cavaliers came up short in a meeting between these teams on Oct. 22, but they won their next three games. Charlotte is currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and is coming off a 125-113 win over Portland on Sunday.
