They are entering this game on a 5 game winning streak with wins coming against the Charlotte Hornets, the Sacramento Kings, the Orlando Magic twice in a row, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Donovan Mitchell led the team in points in that game with 25 while Jaylon Tyson was next on the team with 20 points.

They were 52.6% from the field, 38.6% from 3-point range, and 76.9% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 119.2 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 116.1 PPG against them. The Cavaliers have an ATS record of 19-30 this season and their O/U record is 22-27.

The Suns are entering this game with a 28-19 record overall this season and they are 15-6 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Brooklyn Nets, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Detroit Pistons still to be played on Thursday night. In their game against the Nets, Mark Williams led the team in points in that game with 27 while Dillon Brooks was next on the team with 26 points.

The current betting odds have the Cavaliers listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cavaliers have looked good in their games this season with their 29-20 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have been a good road team too with their 12-9 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 28-19 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have looked great on their home court too with their 15-6 home record this season. The Suns are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they are off a win over the Nets in their last one, but that wasn't a great win for them with the way they struggled and they are missing some key players in the lineup too. Booker could be out for this game again which is a huge blow to the Suns, missing their best player, and they aren't in a great situation here either. They are playing this game on a back-to-back with a really tough game against the best team in the East the night before, playing the Pistons on Thursday. They are going to need a good effort in that game against the Pistons and might not have their best effort in this one the next night. The Cavaliers have been starting to roll now after a slow start to the season too. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row now. The Cavaliers also have the rest on their side here and they can take advantage of a banged up Suns team on a back-to-back. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game.

“He has laid the foundation. He has done a lot for the city being from here. We want to replicate that. He deserves the energy he has got here. First time they have done it in 50-some years. We’re trying to do it differently. At the end of the day, we’re trying to find ways to go out there and bring the city another championship.” - Donovan Mitchell on LeBron James after their win against the LA Lakers in their game on Wednesday.

"It's incredibly hard to officiate. They're a hard playing team. We know what happened to them in LA. They know what happened to us the last couple nights. So we knew they'd come out fighting, and they played extremely hard. They're extremely well coached, so it's two teams that are just scrapping." - Jordan Ott after his team’s win against the Nets in their game on Tuesday.
