Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas go into this game in rough form, having lost seven of their last nine games to fall to 25-24.

The Mavericks were red-hot in late December, but their downturn started in early January with a 120-109 loss at Oklahoma City.

They then lost 113-101 at the LA Clippers before battling past the Los Angeles Lakers in double overtime, 119-115.

Dallas failed to build on that though as they capped off the road trip with back-to-back losses in Portland, 136-119 and 140-123, before returning home to lose 130-122 to Atlanta.

The Mavericks stopped their skid with a 115-90 win against Miami, only to then lose 112-98 to the LA Clippers and 127-126 to Washington.

Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix are riding a four-game win streak that has propelled them above .500 for the first time in a couple of weeks.

The Suns endured a miserable run between late December and mid-January as they went on a six-game losing skid while losing nine times in a 10-game spell.

They snapped a three-game slump with a 117-112 home win against Brooklyn though, and that win sparked an upturn in fortunes.

Phoenix followed up that win with a 112-107 victory against Indiana, before downing Memphis 112-110.

The Suns then made it four-in-a-row on Tuesday night as they blew out Charlotte, 128-97.
