Cavaliers vs Suns Pick & Insights

Cavaliers: Keys To Victory

Cleveland needed only 90 points to beat the Suns when the two teams last met on Wednesday, though that wasn't enough to cover the spread. With Phoenix's offense slumping and hampered by injuries, the Cavaliers just need to produce a bit more offense of their own to earn the win as a Cavaliers vs Suns prediction.

Suns: Keys To Victory

Phoenix was already struggling on offense before Chris Paul's injury. The recipe for success as a Cavaliers vs Suns pick will be the same as it was last Wednesday, trying to keep the game within reach with a slow pace and good defense in hopes of winning it this time around.
