Tonight is no different when James and the Cavaliers will try to extend their winning streak to six when they welcome the Nuggets, who are looking for their sixth victory in a row over Cleveland.

When James and Anthony have gone head-to-head, though, the results have been rather one-sided. Denver has won five straight and eight of 10 meetings with Cleveland, winning twice last season by an average of 26.0 points.
                             
James is scoring 23.3 ppg against the Nuggets, while Anthony has averaged 20.4 points versus the Cavaliers.

This will also be Chauncey Billups’ first game vs. the Cavs since the trade. He has struggled in his career against Cleveland and averaged just 8.5 points against them last season.
