Tue Jan 21 01:40:00 IST 2025: **Suns Aim for Third Straight Win Against Cavaliers in Crucial Matchup**
PHOENIX, AZ – The Phoenix Suns (21-20) will look to extend their winning streak to three games when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers (34-8) on Monday at 1:30 p.m. MST. The game will be televised on Arizona’s Family (Ch. 3 TV). This marks the first of a home-and-away series between the two teams.
The Suns, currently on a five-game road trip, will be without center Jusuf Nurkic (flu), while the return of Bradley Beal (ankle sprain) remains uncertain. They will face a Cavaliers team missing key players Evan Mobley (calf) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder). Phoenix will rely on the offensive firepower of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to counter Cleveland’s All-Star trio of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen.
Despite their recent wins, the Suns face a challenging opponent in the highly-ranked Cavaliers. Analysts are questioning whether either team can make a significant playoff push, given their current roster strengths and weaknesses. The game is expected to be closely contested, following the pattern of a recent game between the top-ranked offense (Cavs) and defense (Suns). Fans can follow live updates on azcentral.com.
