What a GAME!! LeBron James and Cleveland CAVALIERS are on FIRE!!!

LeBron James records 30 PTS, 13 REBS, & 6 ASTS to help team to get 8th straight win!

There is no hotter team right now than the Cleveland Cavaliers, winners of eight in a row heading into Tuesday night's matchup with the Miami Heat. The Cavs are four-point favorites at home, down from the opening line of 5.5. The over-under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 209.5, down from an open of 214.

During the eight-game run, LeBron James has scored 30-plus points four times, had nine-plus rebounds five times and eight-plus assists four times. That includes a 27-point, 16-rebound, 13-assist monster evening in a 100-99 victory over the Hornets last Friday.

The Cavaliers' luck changed as they landed the number 1 pick in the 2003 NBA draft. With it, the team selected heralded forward and future NBA MVP LeBron James, an Akron native who had already risen to national stardom at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. In 2005, the team would be sold to businessman Dan Gilbert. That year, the team also hired head coach Mike Brown, and a new general manager, former Cavaliers forward Danny Ferry. Over the next few years, the Cavaliers built a team around James and Žydrūnas Ilgauskas by adding players including Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and Anderson Varajao. Under this new leadership, the Cavaliers made it to five straight playoffs from 2006 to 2010, advancing to at least the second round each time. The 2006–07 Cavaliers advanced to the franchise's first NBA Finals, but were swept by the more experienced San Antonio Spurs. The 2008–09 Cavaliers won a franchise record 66 games, including a franchise-best 39–2 record at home, but lost the Eastern Conference Finals in six games to the Orlando Magic. Despite the addition of four-time NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal, the 2009–10 Cavaliers were unable to return to the Eastern Conference Finals after losing to the Boston Celtics in the second round.
