LiontipsPhoenix vs Dallas. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Phoenix got off to a bad start in the current regular season, but managed to turn things around afterwards. Williams' men are currently on a nine-game winning streak, which helped them to rise to the 2nd spot in the Western conference. In the previous season Suns won their conference, so they surely want to repeat that result.
Suns recorded their most recent victories on away matches. They didn't experience any problems in matches against Houston and Minnesota. They beat Rockets by a 115:89 score and then just narrowly beat Minnesota (99:96).
Dallas performed well in recent matches. Jason Kidd managed to build a great team. Mavericks are able to beat any team. In two previous matches they defeated Denver (111:101) and San Antonio (123:109).
We should note that visitors will play the match against Phoenix without Luka Doncic. Slovenian player is down with an ankle injury. It is not such a severe injury, but Slovenian player will still need to sit out for a few matches.

Tip and bets
Mavericks were not scoring many points even with Doncic in the squad. Mavericks are averaging just a little more than 100 points per game on away matches. We don't think that they will be able to improve that result. Without Doncic it will be hard to break the Suns' defense. We don't think that Kidd's men will be able to do that.
Our prediction - total under 217 points
Seems like it will be an easy game for Phoenix. Doncic's absence will help Suns a lot in this match. We don't think that visitors will be able to put up a fight in the match against Arizona team without the Slovenian player.
Our second prediction - Handicap (-5,5) on Phoenix Suns
