What to Know
The Suns have enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Last Saturday, Phoenix came up short against the Celtics and fell 117-107.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers managed to keep up with the Nets until halftime on Sunday, but things quickly went downhill from there. Cleveland found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 120-101 punch to the gut against the Nets.

Looking ahead, the Suns are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by six points. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Phoenix is expected to win, but their 19-27-1 record against the spread as such isn’t exactly encouraging.
