Game Preview
One of the favorites for the NBA MVP award, Luka Doncic, won’t play this game for the Mavericks and will not appear in the following few. The Slovenian strained his calf and now has to rest.
With him in the lineup, Dallas was the fifth-best offense in the NBA with 118.8 points. They were also the fifth-best shooting team in terms of field goal percentage, 48.8%. Now, they have to figure out how to make up for his absence, and the key will be Kyrie Irving.
The Suns ended a three-game cold streak with a win over the Denver Nuggets at Footprint Center on Christmas Day. The home team won 110-100, and they were way better than the guests from Colorado. Durant and Bradley Beal both had 27 points each in this event.
In general, the Suns struggle on the defensive end. Their defense is the 10th-worst in the NBA, allowing 115.1 points per game. Seeing them as aggressive as they were against the Nuggets was refreshing.
Mavericks vs. Warriors Head to Head
Phoenix Suns defeated Dallas Mavericks in both games this year, 114-102 at home and 114-113 in Texas.
Mavericks vs. Suns Prediction
Mavs have a good team, but without Luka, they can’t beat the Suns in Phoenix. And that’s a fact. Due to this our NBA betting pick here is Suns to triumph.
