James, Cavaliers look to stay unbeaten at home vs. Jazz

Nov 15, 2008 - 11:23 AM Utah (6-3) at Cleveland (7-2) 8:00 p.m. EST

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- LeBron James has the Cleveland Cavaliers clicking on offense.

James and the Cavaliers go for their sixth straight win and try to remain undefeated at home on Saturday when they host the shorthanded Utah Jazz.

James leads the NBA, averaging 28.9 points per game and has been the main reason for the recent surge by Cleveland, which ranks fifth in the league in scoring at just over 100 points a contest.

James poured in 22 points and added 11 assists to lead the Cavaliers to a 110-99 victory against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. It was almost an off-night for the superstar after he exploded for 41 points in three of the previous four games.

The Jazz enter the game after back-to-back setbacks and have endured three losses in the first four games of their Eastern Conference road trip, which concludes with this game.

Deron Williams, who missed the first six games of the season with a sprained left ankle, returned for two games before sitting out Friday's 104-96 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. Williams will likely be sidelined against the Cavaliers, well.

Utah will also be without Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko, who missed Friday's loss with a finger injury. The Jazz's starting center, Okur has missed three contests while visiting his ailing father in Turkey.
