Dallas at Phoenix

Phoenix comes limping home after a 1-5 road trip that saw them drop their last four. The last one was the toughest as they had Memphis on the ropes, but fell in overtime by 10 points. The offense has been going through droughts pretty much every game. They have trailed by 10 or more points in 15 of their 19 games, as the defense hasn't been able to stop opponents from extended runs. The Mavericks are 1-4 in their last five, but have played a difficult schedule with six of their last seven opponents over .500. They won their lone game in the stretch vs. a sub-.500 team. Both teams are in need of a win, but Dallas has more answers at this point in time. The Suns are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 at home, and Dallas has not only won eight of their last nine meetings with Phoenix, but they have covered eight of nine as well. Take the points and go with Dallas.
