Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2) for Suns – 1.87.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Under 213 – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Doncic Points Under 33.5 – 1.75.
Despite the two wins, the Dallas Mavs are inferior to the Phoenix Suns in terms of variation. The Mavericks are too dependent on Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson. The Suns don’t have those kinds of irreplaceable players. That was evident in the last meeting when the Suns had four players score at least 14 points.
Both teams focus too much on defence. In the last three meetings, for example, they have not scored more than 212 points.
In 3 of the last 5 games, the Suns have scored more than 106.5 points.
The Dallas Mavericks are fighting tooth and nail to keep the vice-champion out of the semi-finals. Slovenian forward Luka Doncic helped his team regain the balance twice. The Dallas Mavericks won two games at home.

Earlier, the Mavericks managed to outscore the Utah Jazz (4-2) in the first round of playoffs.
Phoenix Suns:
