Phoenix Suns vs. Dallas Mavericks - Game Prediction
The Mavericks are struggling with a number of problems as they have already lost seven straight games.
Their 3-point defense must be at the top of their list of things to improve. They are permitting teams to shoot 39.6% from long range throughout their skid. The most effective team from that distance is the Denver Nuggets, who are hitting 39.5%.
In order to keep the injured Mavs from leading, the Suns must improve their rebounding game. If Dallas' defense continues to be vulnerable, Phoenix, who is already a 36.5% shooter from that distance, may have a spectacular night from behind the arc. Nevertheless, Phoenix has lost three straight games, 158–112 under the boards, including 36–28 in the offensive glass.
