Cavaliers go for sixth straight win

Dec 3, 2008 - 2:37 PM New York (8-9) at Cleveland (14-3), 7:00 p.m. EST

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- The Cleveland Cavaliers look to win their sixth straight game and remain unbeaten at home when they host the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Winners of 13 of 14, Cleveland is 9-0 at home this season with most of those wins coming with ease. The Cavaliers have won their last five home contests by and average of 17.4 points.

LeBron James scored 32 points as the Cavaliers extended their winning streak to five games with a 97-85 victory at Milwaukee on Saturday.

New York, which is 2-4 since trading away Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford, is coming off a 104-97 setback to Portland on Tuesday.

Chris Duhon had 23 points and 13 assists to lead the Knicks, who continue to deal with the Stephon Marbury distraction.

The two-time All-Star has been told to stay away from the team, which is considering its next move.

Due to the Marbury matter and injuries, New York has been forced to play with just seven or eight players in its past six games.

The Cavaliers defeated the Knicks, 119-101, on November 25.
