If Ayton doesn't play (questionable status), with KD on minutes restriction and on their home court, the Mavs are the likely winner. They are slight favorite according to the bookies. Hopefully Suns win though and stay closer to 2nd/3rd place.

With the way the medical staff is protecting players I doubt that Ayton will play against the Mavs, and I am fine with that. I like our chances even with him out.

KD played 31 minutes in the last game, so it's not on a serious minutes restriction. Good game to try him as a small ball C for a few minutes.

Yeah, if Mavs go on one of their hot shooting streaks, countering with KD at C makes a lot of sense. This is a team that can't hurt you inside so DA is not as important on D.

Massive game. Can cut kings lead of 3rd to 2 games and get revenge on the Mavs for last year.

Come on Suns ☀️

Doncic definitely hipchecked Okogie there, no call. Good job, refs.

Everything goes in favor of Luka as far as reffing goes we knew about that already.

Gotta find a way to keep Okogie for next year, that energy on d is infectious.

Another call for Dallas
