(Sports Network) - The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to stay in the fourth spot in the East standings when they pay a visit to the Chicago Bulls this evening at the United Center.

Cleveland is two games ahead of Washington and three games in front of Philadelphia in the conference playoff race, with four games left on the regular-season schedule. It ended a two-game losing streak with a 104-83 victory over New Jersey on Wednesday, as superstar LeBron James shook off back spasms to score 33 points and help wipe out a 14-point deficit.

Wally Szczerbiak added 14 points off the bench and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 13 in a starting role for the Cavaliers, who are battling for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Delonte West and Daniel Gibson each scored 12 points in a winning effort.

The Cavs have lost six of seven and eight of its last 10 road games. They are also 17-22 away from Quicken Loans Arena this season.

Chicago has lost three in a row, and will open a two-game homestand on Friday versus Cleveland and Orlando. It is 18-20 in the Windy City this season.

The Bulls dropped their third straight game and completed a winless two-game road trip with a 115-83 setback to the Magic on Wednesday at Amway Arena. Kirk Hinrich poured in a team-best 19 points for Chicago, which has lost six of its last eight games overall.

Chicago is 2-1 against the Cavaliers this season, and has won four of the last six matchups in the series.

Cleveland has lost two of its last three contests at the United Center.
