Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns: NBA Live Stream, Schedule, Probable Lineups, Injury Report, Form Guide, Head to Head, January 4, 2023

The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome the Phoenix Suns to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Cavaliers won 145-134 in their last game over the Bulls. Mitchell set a Cleveland record with 71 points, most by an NBA player in 17 years, and the Cavaliers rallied from 21 down to beat the Chicago Bulls 145-134 in overtime on Monday night. Mitchell’s total matched the eighth highest in league history since Lakers legend Kobe Bryant had 81 points against Toronto on Jan. 22, 2006. 

Wilt Chamberlain owns the NBA record with 100 for Philadelphia against New York on March 2, 1962, at Hershey, Pennsylvania. “To be there in the record book with guys like Wilt is truly humbling,” said Mitchell, who was acquired from Utah in the offseason. “I always believed I could be one of the best players in the league. I’m speechless and blessed to be in the company of that greatness.”

The Suns on the other hand lost 102-83 against the Knicks in their last game. Deandre Ayton led Phoenix with 12 points. Chris Paul had 11 and Mikal Bridges added 10. The Suns, who lost for the sixth time in their last seven games, scored the first four points of the game. The Knicks followed with the next 14 and led the rest of the way.

New York went ahead 23-11 after the first quarter, the lowest total allowed to any opponent in any quarter by the Knicks since Feb. 1, 2020 (vs. Indiana). Phoenix pulled to within 11, but a 21-0 Knicks run produced a game-high 32-point lead, 52-20.
