It is the site of the Pistons last road victory, when they came to Cleveland durning the time of that 26-game losing streak.

Baron Davis is expected to make his Cavalier return tonight, and he is expected to start at point guard. The Cavaliers looked rejuvenated when Davis join them but Davis has only played in three games due to back spasms.
