Phoenix has looked downright terrible offensively while losing five in a row and eight of nine. The Suns have averaged only 94.6 points their past five games and have failed to reach 90 in two of them. They have shot 40 percent their past three games and come off a 104-96 defeat against Miami on Friday night. Admittedly, the Suns are dealing with several key injuries, including Devin Booker (groin), Cam Johnson (knee), Cameron Payne (foot) and most recently, Chris Paul, who left Friday's game in the second quarter with hip soreness. Cleveland has won three of four although they did lose 121-108 at Denver two nights ago. The Cavaliers won the first meeting 90-88 at home on Wednesday and they are 5-1-2 ATS their past eight after losing by at least 10 points. Take the Cavaliers.
