LeBron James will play Monday vs. Nuggets despite battling cold

A common cold won't be enough to keep LeBron James off the court, as he will play Monday against the Denver Nuggets, reports Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

James's status was in question during morning shootaround, which he missed, but he appears to be ready to play.

On the season, James is averaging 27.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per contests while leading the inconsistent Cavaliers to a record of 5-3.
