Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction and Betting Pick. Dallas Mavericks host Phoenix Suns as -8.5 favorites with a 207 line at 9.30 PM ET on Wednesday, April 8 2015. Phoenix won the last three meetings, and even when Dallas would win, it wouldn’t be by more than 3 points. At least not in the last seven meetings between these two teams.
Rajon Rondo (DAL) is doubtful and might be rested vs Suns
Dallas Mavericks are safe in the 7th spot in the Western Conference and can’t go either up or down. This gives them time to get healthy and to focus on trying to play better basketball. Starters Chandler Parsons and Rajon Rondo and veteran backup Richard Jefferson all sat out practice Monday. All three might play but it’s more likely they’ll be given rest.
Phoenix Suns still got a theoretical chance of making the playoffs but they need to win all four remaining games. Their offense stalled in a 96-69 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday.
