The Cavaliers (9–6) are finding their stride despite injury setbacks, coming off a 130–116 win over Miami where Jarrett Allen dominated with 30 points and 10 rebounds. His effort, alongside an impressive 19-point, nine-assist, four-block performance from Craig Porter Jr., lifted Cleveland to its seventh straight win when Allen scores 25+. Even without stars Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley, the Cavaliers’ depth has shone — averaging 122.3 points over their last three games while shooting 49.8% from the field. A win here would move them to 4–1 against division rivals this season.
The Raptors (8–7) enter in solid form after a 119–109 victory over Brooklyn, powered by Immanuel Quickley’s 24-point, eight-rebound showing and Brandon Ingram’s 25 points. Toronto’s defense continues to anchor their success, holding opponents to just 108.4 points per game during a run that’s seen them win 10 of their last 12 Eastern Conference road games. Their pace-and-space attack is starting to click, shooting 47.2% from the field and 38.9% from deep across their last five contests. With both teams shorthanded, the Raptors’ perimeter efficiency could again prove the difference in this rematch.

Phoenix Sns roll into this one feeling good, having won four straight, including a 123–114 road win over Dallas where Devin Booker put up 26 points and nine assists and Grayson Allen added 23 points with three steals. Phoenix’s offense has looked sharp during this stretch, averaging 121.5 points while shooting efficiently from deep. With momentum finally on their side and their defense tightening late in games, the Suns will be looking to keep that run going as they return home.
Indiana is just trying to stop the bleeding on a tough road trip. The Pacers were blown out 152–128 by Utah, though Pascal Siakam (27 points) and Andrew Nembhard (25 points, seven assists) turned in solid individual numbers. The bigger concern is that Indiana has now dropped nine straight on the road, their longest skid away from home since early 2023. To get back on track, the Pacers need to clean up their defense — they’ve allowed 128+ in three straight — and find some rhythm before this trip ends.
PICK – PHOENIX -4.5

- The Hawks have won the 1st half in 5 straight games vs the Jazz.

The Jazz come into this one feeling a bit more alive after hammering Indiana 152–128, a night where Lauri Markkanen exploded for 35 points, hit five threes, and shot a scorching 13-for-19 from the field. It was one of Utah’s cleaner offensive outings in weeks and just their third win in their last 18 games against Eastern Conference teams. If they’re going to build on it, sustaining that shooting rhythm at home will be key.
Atlanta is rolling, crushing Sacramento 133–100 on Wednesday behind a near-perfect night from Jalen Johnson, who went 9-for-10 while putting up 24 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists. It was the team’s third straight win, and during this stretch they’ve looked faster, sharper, and far more connected on both ends. Even on the second leg of a back-to-back, Atlanta carries strong momentum into Salt Lake City.
PICK – ATLANTA -2.5
