DAL vs PHX Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns

DAL vs PHX Dream11: There are some teams in the NBA that catch fire early on and don’t look back even as we dive into the Playoffs. The number of these teams is usually two to three and these are also the title favorites as their earlier established chemistry only pays off during the Postseason. The Phoenix Suns finished as the top team in the Regular Season and they are proving why they were there, and as they take on the Dallas Mavericks, they can build an incredible three-nil lead.

In Game 2, the Mavs once got blown out of the game, losing 121:109. Unlike the last game, where the Mavericks were trailing early on in the game and made a fierce comeback in the last quarter, the game was close around the middle of the third quarter but then the Suns showed their prowess and pulled away late. The backcourt of Paul and Booker combined for 58 points while Doncic’s 35 points effort fell short.

Host: Dallas Mavericks

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Poor defense and Doncic’s lonely world…

The Suns have been too much to handle on the defensive end for the Mavs and despite Mavericks’ making more threes in the each of the first two games, the Suns’ offense which is composed of both strong mid-range shooting and inside finishes, has brought back some of the old-style basketball back to bring down a lot of pain on the Mavs.

The Mavs allowed the Suns to shoot over 60% and you are not winning many games allowing such a percentage. The trouble against the Suns is that they can use both Paul and Booker as isolation scorers, both are tremendous passers, especially Paul, which opens up lanes for players like Bridges, Crowder, and Ayton, all three getting it done yet again.

The Mavericks’ other two guards Dinwiddie and Brunson, shot below 30% in the last game and once you allow 120+ points, this type of percentage from the major offensive options is not going to get it done. However, the Mavericks will still need more on the defensive end and their perimeter defense certainly raises question marks.
