Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Season record: 34-29
Kevin Durant’s debut with the Suns was a success, as he scored 23 points in just over 25 minutes played and combined with Devin Booker, who added another 37, to lead his team to a 105-91 victory. The Suns come into this game in fourth place in the standings, but just 1.5 games behind the sixth-ranked team, who will be their opponent in this game.
Therefore, they know how important a win here would be for them, something that would also see them end a four-game away trip on a positive note. The Suns average 112.6 points scored per game, however, those are numbers that are expected to increase after Durant’s arrival. On the other hand, their defense remains very solid, averaging 110.9 points against.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 33-31
Unlike his former teammate, Kyrie Irving’s start with the Mavericks has not been what was expected. His team won just two of their first four games with him, and it is coming into this clash with just two wins in their last seven appearances. That negative streak has forced the Mavericks to start putting up better results early, as they sit sixth in the West, but only 0.5 game behind their closest challenger.
The Mavericks, who are averaging 113.8 points scored and 112.9 points allowed per game. At least they will go into this meeting on a positive note after beating the Philadelphia 76ers 126-133 in their previous game thanks to a great combined performance by Luka Dončić and Irving, who scored 42 and 40 points, respectively, with the former also contributing 12 assists.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be a matchup featuring many of the best players in the league, however, although the Mavericks now have a great offense with Dončić and Irving, their defense has gotten a little worse, something that has been demonstrated in their recent outings.
So Booker, Durant and Chris Paul will know perfectly well how to take advantage of the home team’s defensive shortcomings. In addition, their good defense, which has remained at a high level even after the arrival of the 34-year-old veteran, also causes many problems for the Mavericks, who still don’t seem to have fully grasped their new team.
So, as it promises to be, we expect a very close game from start to finish, in which both teams will bring out their best weapons, but we are confident that the Suns’ defense will set the tone at the end and at least manage to cover the Spread.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread (PHO 118-115 DAL).
