Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers are at their best at home, where they’ve won 22 games, but this is a tough spot given the injury report. The Cavs are still without Mitchell, Mobley and Strus. The Cavs may also be down Dean Wade, who is questionable with a personal issue. That’s too many key injuries to trust against one of the more talented teams in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns are starting to get healthier and that includes Booker, who is probable. Two teams heading in different directions in terms of the injury report. I’ll lay the bucket with the Suns on the road.
