Suns Betting Trends

Adding Kevin Durant to an already stacked squad has propelled the Phoenix Suns to the third-highest NBA Championship odds. Durant joins stars Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton to form perhaps the greatest starting five in the league.

Booker dropped 35 points on the Bulls Friday night, while matching his career high with six 3s. While Durant put up 20 points in his second game with the Suns. Booker leads the Suns with 27 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game this season.

Intriguingly, the Suns have covered the spread in three straight games, and four straight games on the road. Monty Williams’ squad is fifth in 3-point percentage (37.9 %) and sixth in defensive rating (113.4) on the season.

Mavericks Betting Trends

Mavericks bettors have to be excited after watching Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic ball out on Thursday. The All-Star duo shined with 82 points combined in the victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The pair had struggled after the Mavs blockbuster trade, losing four of five games prior to Thursday night. The Doncic-Irving combination was always going to take time to gel since both are ball-dominant scoring guards. However, as the Sixers game displayed, this team is capable of defeating anyone in the Association.

To his credit, Kyrie has excelled just joining the Mavericks, averaging 26.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 5 rebounds per game. However, questions remain regarding the Mavs ability to stop their opponents. Dallas has a defensive rating of 122.7 over their past eight games, which would be the worst mark in the league this season.

With those defensive stats, Irving and Doncic may both need to score 50 to have any hope of beating the Suns.

Suns vs Mavericks Prediction

This Suns vs Mavericks game seems like the perfect spot to back the Mavericks, as the Suns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Having said that, the Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games, and 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games after two days rest.

Luckily for bettors, the under is 6-2 in the last 8 Suns vs Mavericks meetings. In a game loaded with offensive talent, let’s beat the books by betting the under.

Suns vs Mavericks Pick: UNDER 232.5 (-110)
