Dallas Mavericks @ Phoenix Suns Odds

Preview

The Dallas Mavericks will travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns at Footprint Center. Dallas has been one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the All-Star break, going 18-7 and climbing to the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

Phoenix, meanwhile, has been struggling as of late, going 10-15 since the break and falling to the sixth seed. The Suns will be without Devin Booker for the next several weeks due to a groin injury, which is a major blow to their chances of making a deep playoff run.

Despite Booker's absence, the Suns are still a dangerous team with Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges leading the way. The Mavericks will need to be at their best to pull off the upset in Phoenix.

Odds

The Suns are favored by 7.5 points at home, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 226.5 points.

Prediction

The Mavericks have been playing well lately, but the Suns are still the better team. Phoenix has a lot of experience in the playoffs, and they know how to win close games. I think the Suns will win this game outright, but the Mavericks will keep it close.

Pick

Suns -7.5
