Cleveland Cavaliers Preview

Struggles away from Ohio

Following back-to-back exciting wins at Rocket Mortgage Arena, the Cavaliers rested leading scorer Donovan Mitchell for the first of their five game west coast road trip – losing to the Denver Nuggets by 13 points. During the first half of the campaign, Cleveland has been one of the best teams in the league at home with an 18-4 record, having outscored their opponents by 8.1 points per 100 possessions – the fifth-best mark in the NBA. However, they have failed to find similar success away from home, winning only seven of 18 contests. Heading into another battle out west, it is worth noting that Cleveland is only 2-5 on the road against west coast teams this year.

Garland questionable

Darius Garland is listed as questionable ahead of tip-off this evening. Though he is one of Cleveland’s primary playmakers, the team has performed admirably in his absence. Per Cleaning the Glass, the Cavaliers rank in the 52nd percentile in offensive efficiency and the 81st percentile in defensive efficiency when Garland is on the floor this year, compared to the 70th percentile in offensive efficiency and the 79th percentile in defensive efficiency when he is on the sidelines. Expect Cleveland to be competitive in this contest, regardless of whether Garland suits-up.

Phoenix Suns Preview

Booker, Paul OUT

Both Devin Booker and Chris Paul have been ruled out ahead for tonight’s action. Since Booker last played a full allotment of minutes on December 17, Phoenix ranks 25th in Net Rating out of 30 teams, having won only three of 11 games in that span. Per Cleaning the Glass, the Suns rank in only the 14th percentile in offensive efficiency, but their defense improves to the 98th percentile, allowing only 104.4 points per 100 possessions. This unit is likely to struggle once again offensively, but they are likely to make life difficult for Cleveland’s offense as well.

Who will step up for Phoenix?

Per CourtIQ, Cameron Payne sees the largest increase in usage when both Booker and Paul are out of the lineup. In such situations, he is averaging 24.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per 36 minutes. Deandre Ayton is also likely to be heavily involved, averaging a team-best 27.0 points and 12.3 rebounds per 36 minutes when Phoenix is missing two of their premier players.

Cavaliers vs. Suns Pick and Prediction

Per Cleaning the Glass, the Phoenix Suns are averaging only 108.8 points per 100 possessions this season when both Devin Booker and Chirs Paul are on the sidelines. Since Booker last played an entire game on December 17, Phoenix is averaging only 95.7 possessions per game, with the Cleveland Cavaliers averaging 96.3 possessions per game in that span. This should be a slow-paced affair on Sunday – take the under once again on Phoenix’s team total.
