The Cavs recently beat the Suns 119-111 on the road. Their top producers were LeBron James with 34pts 13 assists 10 rebounds, while Mo Williams added 30pts and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 15pts. James looks to become the first player to record four consecutive triple-doubles in nearly 20 years, and possibly help the Cavaliers to their first division title in more than three decades. Cavaliers could be division champs for the first time in 33 years by the time they take the floor. Cleveland would clinch its first Central title since 1975-76 if Detroit loses at Toronto earlier in the evening. If the Pistons win, the Cavs would lock down the division with a win over the Kings. James had a triple-double in the Cavaliers' only meeting with the Kings (14-50) this season. On Jan. 27, he had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists and Mo Williams added what was then a career-high 43 points highlighted by seven 3-pointers in the 117-110 win. The Cavs are 23-12 SU on the road where they average 97.1 ppg and give up an average 92.8 ppg. They are 4-1 SU in their last five road games where they’ve averaged 99 ppg and given up an average 97.2 ppg. The Cavs are 21-4 against teams from the West.
The Kings recently lost to the Thunder 98-99 at home. Their top scorers were Spencer Hayes with 20pts 10 rebounds, while Andres Nocioni added 16pts and Kevin Martin had 12pts. Kevin Martin kept Sacramento close by scoring 35 in their last contest against the Cavs, but Kevin Martin status for tonight’s game is in question because of his latest ankle injury. Martin didn't play the final 15 minutes in the Kings' last game. The Kings have split their last four games at Arco Arena, including a stunning win over West contender Denver on Sunday. The Kings are 10-22 SU at home where they average 101.2 ppg and give up an average 106.8 ppg. They are 2-3 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 102 ppg and given up an average 101.2 ppg.
