Think the Suns are much better after acquiring center Nick Richards from Charlotte and it sounds as if Bradley Beal will play today. The Cavs have been incredible at home for the most part but did lose their last game there and are down for sure Evan Mobley and Isaac Okoro and perhaps Caris LeVert as well.

The Suns allow the sixth most points and rebounds to the point guard position. Garland has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his last 13 games. He's also gone over his Points+Assists+Rebounds total in seven of his last 10 games. The matchup sets up for Garland to have another big performance on Monday.

Evan Mobley (calf) has been ruled out for the Cavaliers. Jarrett Allen only had four rebounds with him out Saturday against the Timberwolves, but it came in a bad matchup against Rudy Gobert. The good news was that he logged 36 minutes. This is a much better matchup for him against the Suns, who are tied for the ninth-most rebounds per game allowed in the league. Added minutes give Allen a favorable opportunity to hit this over.

Caesar’s. Nick Richards had a rousing debut for the Suns, with 21 points and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes. He did come off the bench, but that seemed to be more of a formality, as Coach Mike Budenholzer has already stated he’d be the starter. Not trying to extrapolate Richards’ performance off of one game, but he’s someone who has produced on a per-minute basis the last few seasons. The Cavs haven’t been as tough against centers this season, and he’ll only have to face Jarrett Allen with Evan Mobley out.
These lines flatter the Suns man. I don't get it. They survived the Pistons the other night but this road trip has been largely a slog for them and Suns have played a weak schedule - only 2 games vs top 5 teams (lost both by way more than this margin). PHX 4-8 ATS last 12 on road. Suns 3-13-1 ATS vs Eastern Conference and 3-7 ATS as a road dog. Cavs 14-8 ATS as home favorite and 11-2 ATS vs West. Cavs 9-1 ATS when favored by 1-5 points. Suns probably getting a little road weary here.
