The Cavaliers haven't won on the road since beating the Nets in November. Their last victory in any game probably only seems like it was that long ago.
Coming off his first hat trick of the season, Alex Ovechkin looks to help the Capitals continue their recent domination of the Rangers on Monday night.
The Knicks look to avoid losing seven straight for the first time this season Monday night at MSG when they host a Wizards team still seeking its first road victory.

So that's that… the Jets' magical season came to an abrupt conclusion Sunday night in Pittsburgh, as the Steelers handed Gang Green their second consecutive loss in the AFC Championship Game.

Aaron Rodgers ran for a touchdown and made a saving tackle, B.J. Raji returned an interception for a score and Sam Shields had two interceptions to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 21-14 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC championship game.
The New York Jets were quiet all week. Not much changed once the game started. By the time they made some noise, it was simply too late.
