CAVS QUICK FACTS • After a 129-107 win at Phoenix on Tuesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their six-game road trip tonight when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers. This is the second and final meeting between the two teams this season. • Cleveland is 4-2 in the last 6 matchups against Portland, which includes a 127-110 win at The Q on Jan. 2. In the win, the Cavs had 28 assists (10 turnovers) and shot 43-83 (.518) from the field and 13-32 (.406) from three-point territory. The Wine & Gold’s bench outscored Portland’s reserves 61-23. Cleveland also bested the Trail Blazers in fast break points (18-3) and scored 25 points off of Portland’s 15 turnovers. • CAREER MARKS & NBA HISTORY: LeBron James (399 double-doubles, 1,589 3FGM) is one double-double away from becoming the 6th active player to record 400 double-doubles for his career (Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph, Chris Paul and Dirk Nowitzki) and 2 three-pointers away from passing Mike Miller (1,590 3FGM) for 21st place on the NBA’s all-time career three-pointers made list.

For the 5th time this season, the Cavs held an opponent to under .400 shooting from the field, as Phoenix shot 39-98 (.388), including just 6-32 (.188) from beyond the arc. Cleveland also had 12 steals, a season-high tying nine blocks and scored 21 points off 18 Phoenix turnovers. • With 129 points scored at Phoenix, the Cavs are now 14-1 when tallying at least 120 points this season (7-0 on the road).

Over the last 8 road games (6-2 record), the Cavs are averaging 116.6 points on .494 shooting from the field and .429 (112-261) from three-point territory. • The Cavs have now made at least 10 triples in 52 games this season, their 2nd-most in a single season (prev. 51 in 2015-16).

On the season, he is shooting .440 from beyond the arc, which ranks 3rd in the NBA. He also leads the Cavs with 154 three-point field goals this season (20th-most in NBA) and is just the 6th player in NBA history to make at least 150 treys in six consecutive seasons, joining Stephen Curry, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews and Klay Thompson. • J.R. Smith connected on two three-pointers and tallied 14 points, five rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench against the Suns. With his second trey, Smith passed Kevin Love (552 3FGM) for 5th place on the Cavaliers’ all-time three-pointers made list. • Ante Zizic, who has scored in double figures in consecutive games for the first time of his career, is shooting a combined .875 (21-24) from the field since Feb. 11.
