PREVIEW: As the win streak comes to an end, Cavs return home to face Sixers

3. LeBron James vs. Ben Simmons

Last time out, LeBron James completely overmatched rookie Ben Simmons. James had 30 points, 13 rebounds and six assists while Simmons had just 10 points, eight rebounds and two assists.

Simmons is a likely Rookie of the Year candidate for a reason, though. This season he is averaging 17.7 points, 9.5 boards and 7.5 assists per contest. Last time, the Cavs stuck Jae Crowder on him to try and slow him down. Since it worked so well, look for them to try the same strategy this time out– but look for the Sixers to counter.
