Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
I've said before I'm not high on the Phoenix Suns, but they're coming off a nice Christmas win over the Nuggets, and they're the healthier team in this matchup. The Dallas Mavericks looked awful against the Timberwolves before a late failed comeback, and they lost Luka due to a calf injury. The Suns have seen 10 of their 15 wins come at home, and they have won 4 of the last 6 games against the Mavericks. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Suns and the small chalk.
