Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks finished the regular season with a 52-30 record – good enough for fourth place in the Western Conference – and then they qualified for the postseason, where they surprised everyone by eliminating Utah and Phoenix before falling in the Conference Finals to the eventual champion Golden State Warriors.
With that as a precedent, the franchise will once again aspire to have a successful season, and the arrival of a player like Christian Wood will help take some pressure off Luka Dončić’s shoulders in pursuit of this goal.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
The 2021/22 season will be remembered as a bittersweet one by Phoenix Suns fans, who saw their team finish first in the Western Conference with the best record in the NBA (64-18) only to be eliminated in the semifinals at the hands of the Mavericks. In this first game of the season, they’ll have the perfect opportunity to take revenge for that setback.
It was vitally important for the Suns to maintain the all-star core that got them to where they are now, with Booker, Paul and Ayton being poised to once again contend for the championship in what is perceived as the franchise’s last chance to achieve that goal.
JefeBet Prediction
If the preseason is any indication of the Phoenix Suns’ level, we can guess that this matchup will be a difficult one, as the Arizona squad dropped three of its four games, including an ugly 134-124 loss to an Australian team, the Adelaide 36ers.
The Mavericks only played three preseason games, but their record was positive as they won three of them, although all were against weaker teams such as Oklahoma City, Orlando and Utah, and allowed an average of just 102.3 points during the process.
In fact, Dallas also showed good defense against the Suns in their three regular season meetings in 2021/22with Phoenix topping 110 points on only one occasion, yet still failing to win any of those games, and we think another low-scoring game is likely, especially with both teams looking to get back to their competitive best.
Prediction: Under (DAL 105 – PHO 108)
