Cavaliers vs. Suns Preview
By Alex Hinton
Here's one thing that we haven't been able to say all season: the Cavaliers have lost three games in a row. However, don't blame Evan Mobley. In Wednesday night's loss to the Kings, he had 31 points and 10 rebounds.
Mobley is averaging 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per for 28 PR, which is exactly what we need tonight. He has cleared this number in seven of his last 10 games, going over with just points against the Kings. Mobley also had 20 points and nine rebounds in his last game against Phoenix.
For this year's Suns, getting stops have been hard to come by. They rank 26th in defensive rating this season. They are also allowing 22.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game to power forwards, which Mobley should benefit from tonight.
Mobley has taken on a bigger role of late with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland alternating missing games. However, both will be available tonight and Mobley will benefit from their playmaking. He has cleared this line in eight of his last 10 games with both of them active, and I expect that trend to continue tonight.
Best Bet: Evan Mobley Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-130)
Cavaliers vs. Suns Betting Predictions
By Vince Akins
While Cleveland has such a big lead in the East that these games are not critically important, we expect this squad does not want to let this losing streak fester too long. And the Cavaliers' depth and shooting are a rough matchup for Phoenix.
The Cavs are coming off a loss while Phoenix enters following a win. Phoenix has actually won 2 straight, while Cleveland has lost 3 in a row. Teams that are more than 4-point underdogs when they have won at least two straight games and their opponent has lost at least two straight games are 286-362 ATS in the last 648 instances, which means we will fade the Suns in this case.
Pick: Cavaliers -8.5 (-110)
