Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview

On January 1, 2023, the Phoenix Suns will face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a Monday day game scheduled to tip off at 3:30 PM ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. This matchup pits the struggling Suns, currently sitting at 21-20, against the dominant Cavaliers, who boast a stellar 35-6 record.

The Suns are coming off a hard-fought victory over the Detroit Pistons, winning 125-121, but they have struggled on the road, losing 11 of their last 15 away games. Traveling cross-country and across two time zones will add to their challenges, making this a daunting road trip that could impact their performance.

In stark contrast, the Cavaliers have been on a tear, winning 34 of their last 40 games and establishing themselves as a serious force in the league. With the Cavaliers being big favorites at home, the current spread sits at Cavaliers -7.5, suggesting that oddsmakers expect a clear victory for Cleveland.

The moneyline odds reflect this sentiment, with the Cavaliers at -275 and the Suns at +235, giving the Suns an implied win probability of just 29% compared to the Cavaliers' 71%. Bettors are leaning heavily on the Cavaliers to secure a win, and those interested in player props should keep an eye on Nick Richards's rebounds, as it's gained traction among wagerers.

In addition, sharp bettors seem to believe there's value on the Over for rebounds, currently priced at Over 9.5. With both teams trending in opposite directions, this game promises to showcase the Cavaliers' dominance against a Suns squad grappling with road woes.
