We\u2019ll take a close look at this game and find the best bet.<\/p>\n Dallas On The Brink<\/h3>\nDallas should feel great about being at home as they\u2019ve done great in both home games, but there is no tomorrow if they lose this one.<\/p>\n At home, the Mavericks are getting better performances from the guys outside Luka and Brunson, and the Home\/Road difference was on full display last game at Phoenix as Luke and Brunson scored 49 points, and nobody else scored more than 10.<\/p>\n For Dallas, they\u2019ll need big games from Luka, Brunson and the supporting cast, and of course\u2026Chris Paul foul trouble wouldn\u2019t be a bad thing for them.<\/p>\n Suns Looking To Set on Dallas and Rise To The Next Round<\/h3>\nEnough with the corny jokes. The Home\/Road performances from Phoenix have been bizarre as they\u2019ve won by 7, 20 and 30 at home, and lost by 9 and 11 on the road.<\/p>\n The Chris Paul performances are the obvious difference as he\u2019s been in foul trouble in both games in Dallas, and completely out of sorts, but at home he\u2019s been in control, and didn\u2019t even need to do too much last game as it was a 30 points blowout.<\/p>\n No doubt both teams will be ready to play, but will the Suns be able to bring their confident home performances to Dallas tonight?<\/p>\n Mavericks vs Suns Prediction<\/h2>\nWith this close out game, I see Dallas trying to grind it out by wearing down Chris Paul and running the shot clock down and stepping up their defensive intensity so I see a low scoring game.<\/p>\n The nerves could be there for some role players, and with only one game out of the last three going over 198 points, I expect another low scoring game to go under.<\/p>\n Prediction: Under 211.5<\/strong><\/p>\n \n |
