LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki are the stars of their respective teams, but they have fared very differently in this series, which resumes Tuesday when the Dallas Mavericks host the Cleveland Cavaliers at the American Airlines Center.

James has enjoyed plenty of regular season success against the Mavericks, while Nowitzki has struggled to put forth his superstar form when facing off with the Cavaliers. Now the Cavaliers come to town with wins in three of their first six games on their current road trip.
Cleveland Cavaliers:
LeBron equalled a season high with 37 points in a 95-85 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. He hit on 15 of his 22 attempts from the field, adding nine assists and seven rebounds to help the Cavaliers to their seventh straight victory and 13th in 15 games.

James shot 38 percent from the field and averaged 18.8 points per game in four games near the end of the month of December, but has since averaged 27.8 points on 57.8 percent shooting in six games. The Cavaliers went 6-0 in those six games.
Dallas Mavericks:
Nowitzki is averaging 24.5 points per game and 8.0 rebounds over his last two games after sitting out Wednesday’s contest against the New Orleans Pelicans following a 43-minute effort on Tuesday. He’s hit on 12 of 29 attempts from beyond the arc in his last three games.
