Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers will defeat the Phoenix Suns on the road and cover the 8.5-point spread in this game. This is a bad matchup for Phoenix. If you look at their last meeting, the calves won at home 118-92. The Cavaliers have too much size on the interior to give Phoenix anything down low. Cleveland will dominate the glass on both ends of the court, and Donovan Mitchell will get whatever he wants offensively. They are the deeper team that will show up and show out in this game. I expect the Cavaliers to win this game in a landslide, pulling away late as they defeat the Phoenix Suns on the road and pick up their 57th win.
