Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/08/24

The Phoenix Suns are off to a great 7-1 start this season but that record is largely down to the fact that they are undefeated in 5 home games. They will be traveling tonight to take on a Dallas Mavericks team that is 4-2 at home. These 2 teams already met in Phoenix at the end of October, with the home side picking up a 114-102 win. The Mavericks have been outscored by 3 points per game on the road. At home however, they boast a +8.2 point differential. Luka Doncic dropped 40 points the last time these 2 squads met and should help them turn around the last result.

Despite having one of the best records in the Western Conference, the Suns are just 9th in the league in net offensive and defensive record. The Mavericks have been outperforming them in that category, ranking 7th in the league in that department. Doncic will be a major mismatch for the Suns. Last season he averaged 41.7 points per game against the them. Considering how he performed in the first H2H matchup this year, it is clear the Suns have not addressed their defensive issues or solved the Doncic problem. With home-court advantage, look for the Mavericks to level up the season series on the back of strong play from their superstar guard.
