The Phoenix Suns (19-13) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (18-16) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Wednesday, December 31, at Rocket Arena.
Cleveland looks to protect home court when they host a Suns team riding a four-game winning streak. The Suns are coming off a 115-101 road win over the Washington Wizards, their fourth straight victory. A strong second quarter performance helped them seal their fifth win in the last six games.
Dillon Brooks led all scorers with 26 points, while Collin Gillespie and Devin Booker scored 25 and 22, respectively.
The Suns are currently sitting 7th in the stacked Western Conference, behind above average offensive rating and defensive rating.
As for the Cavaliers, they carved a 113-101 victory over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Jarrett Allen showed out with a double-double outing of 27 points and 10 rebounds, while six other Cavaliers scored in double digits.
It's a morale-boosting win for the Cavaliers, who have struggled mightily this month. Through December, the Cavs have only won six of their 14 games.
For the injury front, Larry Nance Jr and Max Strus are listed as out for the Cavaliers. Meanwhile, the Suns will miss the services of Jalen Green and Grayson Allen.
