Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks prediction
There’s value with the Phoenix Suns and the points given that they’ve won 2 of the last 3 meetings against the Mavs. However, the Mavericks have been the more consistent team, especially lately since they made trades to upgrade the roster and Kyrie returned to the lineup. The Mavs defense has been impressive during this winning streak, and it feels like they’re a team that’s starting to really figure things out. With two teams that don’t like each other, I’m going to give the edge to the hot team at home. Give me the Mavs.
