Match Prediction
The Phoenix Suns enter this matchup as clear favorites due to their home advantage, stronger defense, and better overall form. Dallas’ seven-game losing streak and injury concerns make this a difficult matchup for them, especially against a team fighting for playoff seeding.
If Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks control the scoring early, Phoenix should be able to dictate the pace. Dallas will need a big performance from Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis to stay competitive, but their lack of depth remains a concern.
Predicted Score:
Phoenix Suns 120 – 110 Dallas Mavericks
This game looks set to favor the Suns, who are more balanced and reliable at home. Dallas continue to rebuild around young talent, but their current form and injuries make an upset unlikely. Expect Phoenix to end their short losing run and strengthen their playoff position with a comfortable win.
