🔊Will Dallas be able to interrupt Phoenix’s fantastic unbeaten streak? The Suns are on a six-game winning streak and clearly have no intention of slowing down. However, the Mavericks are considered the clear favorites in the next matchup. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.
Direct clashes
In direct comparisons, the advantage is on Phoenix’s side. In a series of 59 games, the Suns achieved the desired result 34 times, while Dallas won only 25 times. However, in a shorter period of time, Phoenix’s dominance is not as evident. In fact, in the last 10 games, the teams have achieved 5 victories each.
Dallas Mavericks
5-3 – it is with this balance of victories and defeats that Dallas approaches the next match. Considering the team sits in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, that’s not such a bad result. In the last game against Chicago, Jason Kidd’s boys had no serious problems and overwhelmed their opponent by a margin of 20 points (119-99). Once again, Luka Dončić stood out in a positive way. The Slovenian star was one step away from a triple double – 27 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix, for its part, continues to maintain the high level it set for itself at the start of the season. The team has failed to win only 1 out of 8 games and shares first place with Golden State and Oklahoma in the Western Conference standings. In the last game, the Suns beat Miami with class (115-112), even if the team certainly had to sweat (halfway through the third quarter they were losing by a margin of 15 points). Once again, the main stars of Phoenix, Durant and Booker, showed their performance, scoring 54 points together.
Editor’s forecast
Despite the proposed odds, we don’t think Phoenix will give up this game easily. The team got into a great rhythm, going on a six-game unbeaten streak. During this period, the Suns managed to overcome opponents no less strong than Dallas. Yes, in most cases the team won by a margin of 1-2 shots, but this confirms their confidence in their abilities. Dallas is that club from which you can expect any result. If the Mavericks are considered the obvious favorites, that means nothing. At the very least, one can remember the home loss to Houston in early November (102-108). Therefore, our main betting option will be Phoenix’s victory with handicap (+6.5).
