Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns Preview

The Cavaliers have raised the bar

The Cavaliers enter this game after a 7-point win against the Minnesota Timberwolves behind a 36-point outburst by Donovan Mitchell. They have split their last four games, but a 12-game winning streak earlier and a 15-game winning streak to begin the season has put them at the top of the East by a big mile. They have scored 122.3 points per game(2nd) with their long-range shooting being their speciality. They have made 16.1 threes per game(2nd) on 39.6% field goal(1st). Their defense is a little inconsistent but they know when to lock in during shootouts.

Are the Suns improving?

The Suns enter the contest after a four-point win against the Detroit Pistons as Kevin Durant scooped up 36 points. They have won five out of the last six games and their offense is thriving under the duo of Devin Booker and KD. However, these wins have come against teams that have struggled massively. The Suns will need to be much better defensively as they have given up 114.3 PPG(10th worst). They enjoy a relatively easy schedule till the first week of July which can help them inch closer to the top-six spots. But will they trade Bradley Beal before the tough schedule kicks in?

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
