* The Cavaliers have won five of their last six games overall and three straight and five of their last six at home.
* The Bulls are looking for back-to-back wins for only the second time this month (also Feb. 2-3). Chicago has dropped five of its last seven, although one of the wins came at Phoenix.

James has outscored Hinrich in their 13 all-time meetings by 11.7 points per contest (26.2 to 14.4) and is 9-4 in those head-to-head contests.
* On Tuesday, the Bulls held the Hawks without a field goal in the third quarter. Chicago is 26-4 this season when leading after three periods.
