He amassed 41 points, 14 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 42 minutes of action. Center Kristaps Porzingis ended his performance with 18 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 33 minutes played. After this victory, Dallas is 14-8 at home, 12-11 away and 10-11-1 ATS at home this season.
To add to the information above, the Suns have won their past eight consecutive games versus the Mavericks. Dallas has not defeated Phoenix since Nov. 29, 2019, when the team won 120-113 at Footprint Center. Anyways, this season, the Suns are 2-0 versus the Mavs. On Nov. 19, 2021, Phoenix won 112-104 at Footprint Center.
Leading into tonight’s intraconference rematch, the only player the Mavericks have listed on their injury report is guard Sterling Brown, who is listed as questionable. Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber are no longer listed on the report. On the flip side, Suns center Deandre Ayton will miss tonight’s game due to a right ankle sprain.

Suns vs Mavericks Prediction | NBA Picks
Additionally, for other betting statistics, Phoenix is 33-7 as a favorite, 1-2 as an underdog and 13-8 ATS away, while Dallas is 20-5 as a favorite, 6-13 as an underdog and 10-11-1 ATS at home. Both of these Western Conference teams are on a four-game winning streak. However, the Suns have the Mavs’ number. Dallas has not beaten them since 2019. And, the Suns are entering this matchup as 2.5-point favorites.
The Suns have two players on their injury report now listed as out: Abdel Nader and Deandre Ayton. Even with these injuries, Phoenix continues to win. Booker is also coming off a 48-point performance. Taking all of this under some consideration, the Suns are the better choice to win and cover the spread. The total will go under 216.5.
