Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview
WagerTalk handicapper and renowned Daily Fantasy expert Ben Burns provides his predictions and player prop from tonight’s showdown between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns.
Recall that these teams were involved in an exciting playoff series last season. The Mavericks would ultimately win in “blowout fashion” in Game 7, right here at Footprint Center.
This will be this season’s third meeting. In both previous cases, the home team has finished on top. Down by 17 points at halftime, the Suns battled back to eke out a 2-point win here, back in October, on Opening Night. The Mavericks covered the spread, as 4-point underdogs.
The second game wasn’t nearly as close. Playing on its home floor, Dallas was listed as a 3-point favorite. The revenge-minded Mavericks led from wire-to-wire and finished with a convincing 130-111 victory.
