Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Cavs will be favored because of the rest advantage, and the Suns are still down their best player. However, you guys know the drill by now. We keep fading the Cavs and keep blindly backing the Suns. With a cover percentage of 67.3 percent, the Suns are the best bet in the NBA. The Cavs have a cover percentage of 38.7 percent. Only the Kings are worse. The Suns keep stepping up time and time again, and that includes upsetting the Pistons last night. Like last night, I’ll gladly grab the free buckets with the Suns.
