After the All-Star break is before the hot phase of the season in the NBA. This also applies to our Mavericks vs. Suns tip, because Dallas is only one win behind Kevin Durant’s men. A success in their own hall and they would pass.
Before the All-Star break The Mavs were also one of the hottest teams in the NBA with their six wins in a row. However, the Suns weren’t in such bad shape either and were able to win seven of their last ten matches.
Table of contents
With Doncic, Irving, Booker or Durant, we will definitely see a lot of big names on the floor on Thursday night and since both teams don’t play defense well, we will probably see a lot of points. At 243.5, the bookmakers are setting it accordingly high.
Our Dallas vs. Phoenix forecast predicts a duel at eye level that can go either way. We also expect a game with a lot of points, with a lot of players likely to score in double figures.

Betting odds as of February 21, 2024, 7:41 p.m
The first jump ball of this Western Conference duel is on Friday night at 1:30 a.m. in Dallas. This week the betting base once again has many exciting NBA tips in its program – from now on right through to the playoffs.
Dallas Mavericks – Statistics & Current Form
The Mavs are in a good mood – or rather, they were in a good mood before the All-Star break. Whether they were able to maintain this form during this break will be seen on Thursday when they meet the Suns team, which is full of stars.
Definitely a matchup that we could see again in the Western Conference playoffs. Because both teams are considered hot contenders for direct playoff qualification – without play-in trouble. But who is the favorite in this duel?
Mavs still allow too much under the basket
According to betting providers, the Mavericks are the slight favorites at home, although it will probably be more or less a 50:50 duel. So for Mavs vs. Suns, the odds on Phoenix are an easy first betting recommendation, even if winning tips are not our first option here.
Rather, we would look at the strengths and weaknesses of the teams to identify special bets. And a major weakness for the Mavs lies under the basket, where they allow the ninth-most points per game at 53.1 – Incidentally, they only score 46.4 – the fourth weakest value.
Suns center Jusuf Nurkic could therefore have a good chance of reaching or even exceeding his average point output of 11.8 points. Since its over/under is only 10.5 points, this is a very good chance to pick up excellent value.
A lot of burden on the shoulders of Doncic and Irving
When it comes to points for the Mavs, the main burden in recent weeks has been on their two superstars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. In the last five games, the two have never scored below 50 total points, which we don’t expect on Thursday either.
It is questionable whether this will be enough to win in the end. There has to be more from role players like Kleber, Green and Gafford. That can happen, but we wouldn’t bet on it at this point.
Key Players:
PG: Luca Doncic
SG: Kyrie Irving
SF: Josh Green
PF: P.J. Washington
C: Derek Lively II

Phoenix Suns – Statistics & Current Form
The Suns are not yet having the strong season that many experts expected from this squad before the season. But slowly the cogs seem to be meshing better and better, as evidenced by seven wins from the last ten games.
With 15:11 wins, the Suns also have a good away record, which is statistically even better than the Mavs’ home record (17:13). This is just a minor statistic, but it definitely shows that the Suns’ stars are not hiding away.
Both teams are almost equal everywhere
Further statistics show that the two opponents hardly take anything away from each other. The Mavs score an average of 1.1 more points per game (118.7 to 117.6), but they allow 1.7 more points (116.2 to 114.5). Phoenix leads the way in rebounds at 43.2 to 42.2 with one per game.
We can see this balance in almost all statistics, although in the end the Suns are ahead a little more often than the Mavs, which ultimately led to one more win in the table. We definitely don’t see them as underdogs in this matchup.
Tips on the Suns are possible
That’s why a tip on the Suns for Dallas vs. Phoenix is also within the realm of possibility, although a monster evening from Doncic and Irving with over 70 points together could intervene. And such a thing is not uncommon this season.
So, in our opinion, player bets are the slightly better option in this matchup. Over 10.5 points from both Nurkic and Allen are particularly noticeable on the Suns’ side, as both average well above this value (Nurkic: 11.8, Allen: 12.8).
Key Players:
PG: Devin Booker
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Grayson Allen
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Jusuf Nurkic

Betting odds as of February 21, 2024, 11:42 p.m
Dallas Mavericks – Phoenix Suns Direct comparison / H2H balance
The season series between these two teams is evenly tied at 1-1, with the away team winning each time. The Suns won the last meeting in Dallas by 14 points, the Mavs then won in Phoenix by 23 points.
This means that it would actually be Phoenix’s turn again, although of course this is just a statistical gimmick. In these two duels, 241 and 242 total points were scored and we are at around this number again for Thursday night.
However, since both teams have been in good form offensively recently, we can still play the odds of over 243.5 points for Dallas against Phoenix. Especially in Dallas there are often fireworks displays.

Statistically, both teams are not taking anything away from each other and the series this season is also tied. However, since we don’t want to bet on a draw, we look for alternative options and find them primarily at Player Bets.
We like it best there for Mavericks vs. Suns a tip for over 10.5 points from Jusuf Nurkic, who should have an advantage under the basket over the Mavs centers. With 11.8 points, he also exceeded this mark on average this season.
