Cavaliers vs Suns Prediction

As I’ve said time and time again, the Cavs keep getting priced like they’re last year’s team, and they’re just not that. The Cavaliers are not only losing games they shouldn’t be losing, but they’re a league’s worst 10-24 ATS on the season. You’re not making money backing the Cavs. Meanwhile, the Suns are 21-10-1 ATS on the season and that includes 6 straight covers. The Suns have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Cavs for what that’s worth. I’m not backing the Cavaliers. Give me the points with the Suns.
