Cavaliers vs Suns Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
PHX Suns +3.5(-110)

Both teams enter this matchup shorthanded, which creates an interesting betting dynamic. Phoenix continues to play without Devin Booker, who had been averaging 25.4 points and 6.2 assists before going down with an ankle injury. His absence forces the Suns to lean on secondary scoring, and they’ve responded at times, most notably with Dillon Brooks’ 40-point outburst in a recent 114-96 win over Detroit. While Booker’s scoring and playmaking are difficult to replace, Phoenix has shown they can stay competitive by spreading usage and relying on effort and defense rather than pure star power.

Cleveland is dealing with similar challenges, as the Cavaliers remain without both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, two core pieces of their offensive and defensive identity. That has placed a massive load on Donovan Mitchell, who recently poured in 45 points to carry Cleveland past Orlando. While Mitchell can keep the Cavs afloat offensively, the lack of Garland’s facilitation and Mobley’s interior presence limits Cleveland’s balance and depth. Recent meetings between these teams have not turned into runaway games, including a 123-112 Suns win last season that relied heavily on individual scoring rather than pace. With both teams navigating injuries and relying on shortened rotations, this game still profiles as one that should be as competitive as the line suggests.
