Suns at Cavaliers picks and predictionsPrediction
Suns 119, Cavaliers 115
The SUNS (+195) are a strong play for the chance to nearly double up if it can get the job done in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers have really struggled lately, winning just 3 of the past 8 games outright. It’s a far cry from last season’s run to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The SUNS +6.5 (-118) are an outstanding play if you cannot bring yourself to play Phoenix straight up. The Suns are 6-0 ATS in the past 6 outings, while going 11-2 ATS in the past 13 road contests.
Cleveland is just 1-4 ATS in its past 5 home games, so Phoenix should be able to add to those woes in the final game of its road trip.
The UNDER 235.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
For Phoenix, the Under has cashed in 3 consecutive games for the Suns, while going 7-3 across the previous 10 outings.
The Under has hit in the past 2 games for the Cavaliers, while going 3-1 in the past 4 games for Cleveland against teams from the Western Conference.
