Phoenix at Dallas

This could be a preview of the NBA Western Conference Finals. These teams have both had long winning streaks this season. Last year they met three times during the playoffs at Dallas, and even with playoff defense, they averaged 220-points per game (PPG) in those three meetings. As high scoring as Phoenix has been the last few years, the have now scored 100+ points in 29 of their last 32 games. They are a four-point underdog, so if they manage 100+ as they have in virtually every game, this game’s score is soaring over this total. The playoff games between these two teams at Dallas, when defense is more intense, still saw the an output that blistered past this number.
