Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Phoenix Suns are back at home, but they’re on the end of a back-to-back and just blew a massive lead to the Lakers. There’s also a chance the Suns remain undermanned with Allen dealing with issues. Not great in their second game in as many days. The Dallas Mavericks looked sharp in their season opener, and they’re only going to get better with more reps and working Klay into the mix. The road team has won 4 of the last 5 games between the Suns and Mavericks. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mavs.
