It&#8217;s a far cry from last season&#8217;s run to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The UNDER 235.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.<\/p>\n<p>For Phoenix, the Under has cashed in 3 consecutive games for the Suns, while going 7-3 across the previous 10 outings.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>For more sports betting picks and tips, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbookwire.usatoday.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ftw.usatoday.com\/betftw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow @danieledobish on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danieledobish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>.\u00a0Follow SportsbookWire on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsBookWire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sportsbookwire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hoopshype.com\/rumors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">HoopsHype<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/celticswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Celtics Wire<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/netswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rocketswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sixerswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/okcthunderwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/warriorswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/lebronwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therookiewire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelistwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phoenix Suns (19-13) and Cleveland Cavaliers (18-16) meet Wednesday at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
