Let’s start with the shape of the NBA: Dallas Mavericks winning streak ends abruptly”>Mavs. These won 90% of their last ten NBA games! And there was by no means only fallen fruit – quite the opposite.
Because the extremely strong Bulls, Warriors and Nuggets were all defeated with a difference of at least 14 points during this successful series. Anyone who gets such results can also be dangerous for the top of the table in the Western Conference.
Since his return in early January, Luka Doncic has proven to be more and more of a rebound and points machine that you can hardly get. In a direct match-up you need a strong center to fight the Serbs in the air – and the Suns don’t have that at the moment.

Because the budget number 1, Deandre Ayton is out, so Luka Doncic will have a clear path. The Suns are expected to turn to JaValle McGee as a stopgap measure, but the Serb just can’t stand it.
Nevertheless, Phoenix remains a highly dangerous opponent. However, the visitors’ recent successes should not be overstated, as the Mavs’ victories have been far more impressive in comparison.
The Suns may have won four of their last five games, but with the Pistons, Pacers, Spurs and Raptors there was no opponent who can compare to the Mavericks. In fact, the sudden switch to a strong team could actually play into Dallas’ hands.
