Phoenix Suns Form
Phoenix head to Dallas in good form, having reeled off six straight wins to rebound from a rough start to 2024.
The Suns ended 2023 with back-to-back wins and then started 2024 with a 109-88 victory over Portland, but their form dipped after that as they lost three of the next four.
They were beaten 131-122 by the LA Clippers, and then failed to build on a 113-97 win against Miami as they lost 121-115 to Memphis and 138-111 at the Clippers.
Phoenix have not lost since though, sparking this run of victories with a 127-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, which was followed by a 127-116 win in Portland.
The Suns then beat Sacramento 119-118 and New Orleans 123-109, before returning home to down Indiana 117-110 and Chicago 115-113.
Dallas Mavericks Form
Dallas enter this matchup in underwhelming form, having lost their last two games and four of the last six.
The Mavericks bounced back from a New Year’s Day defeat in Utah with a three-game win streak that started with back-to-back home wins over Portland.
They beat the Trail Blazers 126-97 and 139-103, and backed that up with a 115-108 victory over Minnesota.
