Cleveland goes for its third straight victory following Tuesday's 87-83 win over the Clippers. LeBron James notched his second consecutive triple-double and fifth of the season with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists as the Cavaliers opened their three-game western swing by rallying from a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers are 20-4 versus the West this season for the best interconference record in the league.  But Cleveland has lost nine straight in Phoenix, dating to an 86-73 win in 1999.

It has not been LeBron's fault though. He has averaged 35.7 points, 7.3 assists and 6.0 boards in his last three games in Phoenix. The favorite is 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings, so you may want to avoid picking an upset. Get your NBA picks in the Bodog Sportsbook.
