Cavaliers vs Suns prediction
The Cavs are on the end of a back to back, and they could be without Mitchell again, who is dealing with a knee injury. The Suns are rested, at home, and they're coming off a strong road over the Pelicans. The Suns are also fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament, so they need to take advantage of games they should win. The Suns beat the Cavaliers less than a month ago on the road while shooting 55 percent from the field. The line is reasonable assuming Mitchell isn't playing. Give me the Suns in a comfortable home win.
