Mavericks vs Suns Pick & Insights

Mavericks: Keys To Cover 

Dallas has cracked Phoenix’s air of invincibility with a pair of solid wins at home. To get the job done as a Mavericks vs Suns prediction on the road, the Mavericks will need to continue their smothering play on defense to keep Phoenix out of its comfort zone on offense and to keep the crowd out of the game.

Suns: Keys To Cover

Phoenix has been the best team in the NBA all season, but it hasn’t faced much adversity prior to this series. The Suns are extremely tough to beat when they are at their best, and the circumstances in this series should push Phoenix to rise to the occasion as a Mavericks vs Suns pick on Tuesday night.
