Nurkic Unexpected Gem

The Suns have won six games in a row and are tied for first in the Western Conference standings. Most of these wins have been close, with a few being high-scoring affairs. Phoenix is finding ways to win in crunch time. The Suns’ win streak started against Dallas, and they will look to deliver another strong defensive effort against them.

During this winning streak, Jusuf Nurkic has been an unexpected gem for the Suns. He has stepped up when Phoenix needed him most. In the Suns’ last game, Nurkic recorded a double-double with 20 points and 18 rebounds. While he has had a few off games, for the most part, he is playing well on both sides of the ball.

Depth Scoring Takes A Hit

The Mavericks are 4-2 at home and just two games back of the Suns in the standings. Dallas has been in a bit of a win-loss rhythm, with solid defense overall. Two of their last three games were blowout wins, but those came against some below-average Eastern Conference teams. The Mavericks have played some tough opponents, and those games were much closer.

Dallas recently secured a 20-point win against the Bulls, but unfortunately, they lost two more players to injury. Dereck Lively II and PJ Washington will miss the game against the Suns. The Mavericks have already dealt with some injuries and have pushed through them. Luka Dončić will have his hands full, and the limited depth the Mavericks have will be severely tested.

Suns vs Mavericks Prediction

The Suns are the hottest team in the West, and most of their wins during this streak have been hard-fought. The Mavericks recently had some blowout wins, but those games were against below-average teams. Phoenix has been doing well closing out games, with their depth playing a significant role in that success. Meanwhile, Dallas’ depth has taken a hit due to recent injuries, and the Mavericks are 1-2 against teams with a winning record.
