Dallas Mavericks & Phoenix Suns Squad Analysis
The Suns are dealing with a host of different injuries ahead of this game which is why they come into this game as the underdogs. They will be without experienced point guard Chris Paul as well as key two-way player Mikal Bridges. They will also have to make due with the continued absence of Cameron Johnson, who has only played eight games this season, and Torrey Craig who is missing his third consecutive game. The shorthanded Suns come up against a fully fit Dallas squad whose only injury concern has been the status of Christian Wood. The stretch big is expected to suit up for this game.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
We’re going to back the Phoenix Suns to keep this to within a one possession game and take them getting the +3 point spread. Injuries have clearly had an effect on this line but the Suns have shown over the last few games that they are still capable of putting teams away with Devin Booker in particular really stepping up. Booker has a 51 point performance and a 41 point performance in the last three games alone and will need to have a similarly huge game if they are to overcome Luka Doncic and the Mavs. With how well the visitors are playing combined with the Mavs struggles this season, back the Suns to keep this one interesting.
