Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

I don’t want to panic over three losses as the Cavs still have the second-best record in the NBA and their cover percentage of 61.7 percent is still second-best for NBA bettors. However, three straight losses is still three straight losses and they all came in the comfortable favorite role. The Suns are a team I’ve bashed all year and they’re easily the most disappointing team in the league, but they’d be in the play-in tournament if the season ended today. For the first time in a while, the Suns have a reason to get out of bed and actually put some effort out on the court. The Suns have won three of their last four games, showing flashes of promise. At home, this is a game the Suns can hang around in, especially if the Cavs continue to take nights off defensively. I’ll grab the points with the Suns.
