The Phoenix Suns have lost three out of four, and are currently in last place in the Western Conference. The season is all but lost for Phoenix in what is clearly a time of rebuilding for this team.
Cleveland, also losers of three out of four, including a 35 point loss to Golden State, will look to bounce back and beat an inferior Suns team.
Phoenix Suns
There’s no doubt that this Suns team is built to be rebuilt. The team has no big name talent outside of Tyson Chandler, who, in his 15th year, has clearly lost a step.
He’s averaging just 7.8 points on the season, but has had a good year on the boards. He grabs about 12 rebounds per contest.

The Suns are a very poor defensive team. Phoenix ranks 29th in the NBA in opponent’s points per game. The team gives up 111 per game and has given up over 100 in each of the last five games.
Despite the offense not being terrible, it can’t keep up with teams scoring at will on this Suns team. Phoenix averages about 106 points per game, good enough for 11th in the NBA.

As far as weapons go, the main scorers have been guards Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe. Booker is averaging 20.4 points per game on 42% shooting from the field. Bledsoe averages 20.3 per game on a slightly more efficient 45% shooting.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Coming off a horrendous 35-point loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Cavs haven’t been playing their best basketball to start 2017.
Cleveland has had trouble in the second halves of games and has scored under 100 in three of the last four games, all losses.
On the season, the Cavs average a 5th best 109 points per game, but has struggled in that category recently. It’s hard to believe when you know that the team has LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, along with Kevin Love.
Kyrie is having the best scoring season of his career, averaging 23.6 points per game. However, in the last three losses, Irving has 20, 11, and 17, all under his season average.

LeBron’s points per game are slightly up from last season, as he’s averaging 25.6 per contest. However, he has been under his average over the past few games. In his last three games, he’s put up 20, 16, and 20.
The Cavs are obviously one of the best teams in the league, but they’ll need LeBron and Kyrie to get back to their scoring averages in order to win games.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Phoenix is 5-1 ATS in the last six games
- The Total has gone OVER in four of Phoenix’s last five games
- Cleveland is 1-7 ATS in the last eight games
Free Phoenix Suns vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
Cleveland should have a pretty easy time beating the Suns at home, despite the recent struggles Cleveland is a much better team on both ends of the court. The Cavaliers get the W at home.
