Get ready for an exciting matchup as the Phoenix Suns (44-31) get set to host the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-30) this Wednesday at 7 p.m.! The game will be broadcasted live on Arizona's Family (Ch. 3) and ESPN.
This game marks the start of a four-game homestand for Phoenix, while Cleveland is wrapping up a back-to-back road trip. It's the final showdown between these teams this season, with Phoenix claiming victory in the first game on March 11 in Cleveland, with a score of 117-111. Notably, Cleveland was missing star guard Donovan Mitchell in that match-up.
The Suns, currently holding the eighth spot in the Western Conference standings, are coming off a successful five-game road trip where they went 3-2, culminating in a strong 124-111 win against New Orleans on Monday. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers, positioned third in the Eastern Conference, secured a victory in their last game against Utah, with a final score of 129-113.
Grayson Allen, who leads the NBA with an impressive 3-point percentage of 46.9%, is questionable for Phoenix due to left hip soreness. Allen has been a consistent starter in all 69 games he has played this season, and he is the Suns' fourth-leading scorer, averaging 13.4 points per game, right behind the team's Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.
In terms of injuries, the Suns have only one other player listed on the pregame injury report, Damion Lee, who has been out for the entire season due to right meniscus surgery.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers' injury report is more extensive, with Ty Jerome (right ankle surgery), Isaac Okoro (right great toe sprain), Craig Porter Jr. (illness), Dean Wade (right knee sprain), and Emoni Bates (G League – Two-Way) all listed as out for this game.
