WIN
Cavaliers vs. Suns
—
ANALYSIS
We are siding with the Cavaliers as they carry a season-high five-game winning streak into Phoenix, most recently dismantling the Lakers by 30 points behind a healthy Donovan Mitchell. The Suns face a significant rest disadvantage on the second leg of a back-to-back and will once again be without offensive engine Devin Booker due to a sprained ankle. While Phoenix’s Dillon Brooks is coming off a career-high 40-point performance, Cleveland’s fresh legs and Mitchell's elite form should prove too much for a fatigued and shorthanded Suns rotation.
OUTCOME
Cavaliers 112 - Suns 110
Allen finished with 11 points. The Suns effectively neutralized the pick-and-roll lob threat by dropping Nurkic deep, forcing Cleveland's guards to settle for floaters and mid-range shots rather than feeding the post.
