Despite the fact that the Cavaliers have lost 4 of these games, they average 94.7 points per game, 1 more than Denver, who average 93.7 points. LeBron James averages 21.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists against the Nuggets. With Carmelo Anthony out, the Nuggets lose one option but, with newest addition Allen Iverson along with JR Smith and Marcus Camby, they still pose enough of a scoring threat to trouble, if not defeat, the Cavaliers, who have sunk to a mediocre 2-3 record on their Western Conference road trip. The Nuggets, I think, will be able to overcome the Cavaliers tonight. <font color="#B90456">89</font>-<font color="#6CAEDF">97</font>
