Hold onto your high-tops, hoop-heads! We’ve got a clash of the titans tonight as the 37W-27L Phoenix Suns are packing their SPF 50 to take on the 40W-24L Cleveland Cavaliers at the illustrious Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Suns, trailing by 4.5 games in the wild west, are looking to rise and shine against the Cavs, who are just 1.5 games back in the Eastern conference. With tipoff set for 07:30PM EST, you’ve got just enough time to place your bets and pop some corn. The over/under is chilling at a cool 220.5, and if you’re feeling spicy, the Suns line is at -5.5, while the Cavaliers are sitting pretty at 5.5.
