When the Cleveland Cavaliers made a deal for Mo Williams in the offseason, everyone expected LeBron James to become even more unstoppable. (AI Wire Image)

That has not happened so far this season.

James is only averaging 19.7 points on 43.1 percent shooting, and that has led to the Cavaliers only scoring 91.0 points per game thus far. James went 6-of-15 and scored only 15 points on Saturday in Cleveland's 104-92 loss at New Orleans.

Tonight they take on the Dallas Mavericks, who are 1-1 so far and coming off a 95-85 win over the Timberwolves on Saturday. The 2.5-point favored Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games vs. Eastern Conference teams and will be looking to Dirk Nowitzki to lead them to the win tonight. Nowitzki is averaging 21.1 points and 10.1 rebounds in his career against the Cavaliers.
