Both teams enter the contest looking to snap recent skids and improve their standing in a crowded playoff race. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET (7:00 PM local time).
The Suns (101-79 all-time against Dallas) enter the game as 8-point favorites according to the latest betting odds.

Dallas, currently sitting 12th in the Western Conference with a 19-33 record, is desperate for a win to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Statistically, the two teams are closely matched on the offensive end. For the 2025-26 season, Dallas is averaging 114.2 points per game compared to Phoenix’s 113.6.

The Mavericks have averaged just 108.6 points per game during that five-game stretch.
The Suns are also dealing with their own challenges, having lost five of their last nine games. Phoenix is aiming to avoid a three-game losing streak tonight.
