Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
Suns’ Playoff Push: Can They Surpass Last Season’s Success?
In the loss to the Boston Celtics, Kevin Durant showed off an impressive performance by scoring 45 points in the game. Currently averaging 28 points per game, Durant has had to step up in the absence of Devin Booker, who was scoring 27.5 points per game before suffering an ankle injury on March 2nd.
As a team, the Phoenix Suns roster is scoring 117.1 points per game, displaying ability in three-point shooting with nearly 38% accuracy and 12 successful attempts per game. To pass their previous season’s win total of 45, the Suns need to finish the season with a 9-9 record.
The Phoenix Suns are set for three straight road NBA matchups against Boston, Charlotte, and Milwaukee. Their next opportunity to play at home will be on March 20th against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Defensive Dominance: Exploring the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Strengths
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been an interesting but entertaining team to follow this season, often finding creative ways to pick up wins. Known for their defensive ability, they allow an average of 110 points per game, tying with the Magic and trailing just below the Knicks in the Eastern Conference.
On the offensive end, the Cavaliers are scoring 114 points per game. Donovan Mitchell, the leading scorer for the Cavaliers, has been sidelined for the month due to a knee injury after playing 44 minutes on February 28th. The 27-year-old was contributing 28 points per game. Darius Garland is the second-highest scorer on the team, averaging 18.6 points per game, but he is also out. In the loss to the Nets, Georges Niang scored 20 points.
Following the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head out for three straight road games, facing the Pelicans on Wednesday and then traveling to Houston and Indiana. They will return home for their next game on March 20th against the Miami Heat.
Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Prediction
This game being played in Cleveland will give them a little boost. But, the biggest factor here is the back-to-back games for the Cavaliers. That is going to hurt them trying to keep up getting down the floor with the Suns. This is also coming after a loss.
Sure, no Devin Booker, but the Suns have enough to go on the road and win this game. When you place your final bets for this game down, take the Phoenix Suns +1 over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your NBA predictions!
- Pick: Phoenix Suns +1.
