Devin Booker is averaging 29.5 points and 5.9 assists, while Deandre Ayton is averaging 16.6 points and 9.7 rebounds.

Luka Doncic is averaging 33.4 points and 8.6 assists, while Christian Wood is averaging 16.8 points and 7.7 rebounds.

The Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. The Mavericks are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Suns last 5 road games. The under is 36-17 in Mavericks last 53 home games. The Suns are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Dallas and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

The Phoenix Suns are banged up and on the road, but they've still won 7 of their last 8 games and have won their last 5 games by an average of 12.4 points. The Dallas Mavericks will have the edge at home, and they just beat the Suns, but they're in shaky form with losses in 5 of their last 7 games. The Mavs are allowing 49.4 percent shooting in their last 5 games. You're not going to get the Suns in the underdog role often. Give me the Suns and the free bucket.
