 Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns

NBA Regular Season

 PHX VS CLE MATCH PREVIEW:

Cleveland Cavaliers host Phoenix Suns in NBA action on Saturday (IST) at Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland.

Cavaliers are 3rd in the Eastern Conference, while Suns are sitting 14th in Western Conference and have won the joint fewest games (19, along with Memphis Grizzlies) in NBA in 2017-18.

The hosts, in this match, can’t aim higher than their current ranking, which is 3rd heading into this match, on the table. As the gap between them and the Toronto Raptors (1st and 53-19), and Boston Celtics (2nd and 48-23) is 11 and 6 games respectively. With only 10 more rounds of fixtures to be played, they may not overtake both the aforementioned teams.

However, teams such as Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Miami Heat, all could still finish above them. So Cavaliers can’t just take things for granted at this stage of the season.

For visitors, Phoenix Suns, things can’t go any wrong than their poor 14th position in Western Conference. But having said that, they can still finish above Sacramento Kings, who are 12th in the table. To achieve that target, Suns just need to win matches. And that look improbable-

Form of the Team-

Cleveland Cavaliers–

Cleveland Cavaliers were 5th at one point in the season. But things have changed for better in the past few weeks. They have won four of their last five games which includes an unbelievable 132-129 win over conference leaders Toronto Raptors. If Cavaliers beat Suns in this match, it will be their 4th straight win.

As a team, Cavaliers are the 5th best team in NBA this season. They are racking up points at an average of 110.8.

LeBron James’ team is also 3rd on the list of three-pointers. Till now, they have successfully converted 858 shots from beyond the arc, behind only Houston Rockets (1107), and Brooklyn Nets (890).

While their percentage of 47.8 makes them the 5th best in NBA in terms of field goal percentage.

Phoenix Suns-

The visitors, on the other hand, have lost a mammoth 19 of their last 20 games in NBA. Also, they will be entering the Quicken Loans Arena on a nine-game losing streak which looks to be stretched to 10 considering Cavaliers are playing rather well in the last few games.

So Suns are in for a different evening once again.

But despite their low standards and a patchy form this season, Devin Booker has emerged as a superstar in 2017-18. The 21-year-old Shooting Guard is averaging 24.9 points, making him the 9th best Basketball player in NBA this season.

Season Record-

Cleveland Cavaliers  –  Win – 42, Loss – 29

Phoenix Suns  – Win – 19, Loss – 53
