Analyzing past game data reveals that the Suns have been on an offensive tear. In their last three outings, they've consistently scored over 115 points, with field goal percentages hovering around or above 50 percent. Their three-point shooting has been particularly lethal, averaging above 45 percent across these games. This sharpshooting prowess from beyond the arc could prove pivotal against the Cavaliers.

With blocks and steals numbers adding up, they've disrupted opposing offenses and converted those opportunities into fast-break points.
