Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/31/25

The Phoenix Suns make their fourth and final stop on the road trip, and they’re 3-0 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) so far on the trip. In fact, Phoenix has covered six in a row since Dec. 18. Phoenix has scored 115 or more points in each of the past five games, and it is 2-1 SU/ATS in three games against Eastern Conference teams this season. The Suns have picked up three wins in the past four games, while winning seven of the previous 10 installments in this series. The Suns are still without Jalen Green due to his strained right hamstring, while Grayson Allen is doubtful to go due to his ongoing knee issue.

The Cleveland Cavaliers posted a 113-101 win in San Antonio, salvaging one on the three-game road trip. Still, despite the cover on the Alamo, the Cavs have managed a 2-8 ATS in the past 10 games, while going 4-12 ATS in the past 16 games, and 10-24 ATS overall on the season. Cleveland is just 4-5 ATS in nine tries against Western Conference teams, while going just 1-4 ATS in the past five on its home court. For Cleveland, all integral parts are expected to be available, while Sam Merrill is the only notable player on the injury report. He is probable due to a sore left hip, so he should be in there, too. Still, while Cleveland is maybe as healthy as it has been all season, Phoenix is red-hot. Back the Suns.

Suns +5.5 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to +4.5.
