It’s hard to imagine how the Dallas Mavericks will be able to put up a serious fight. On the other hand, the Mavericks have already shown that they’re serious and that they’re ready to go to the wire, but Jason Kidd’s men will have to do their best.
We expected the Phoenix Suns to play with more confidence in the first round of the playoffs, but we all know what they can do. The Suns will try to seize the initiative right from the start and play number one, especially since they have everything they need to do so.
The Suns are expected to play effectively and spectacularly in almost every game. The Mavericks are likely to play their opponent’s rules, so they’ll have to turn on the speed.
The Suns have scored more than 110.5 points in four of their last five games.
Last season the Suns reached the final, but the Milwaukee Bucks were stronger and took the gold medals. They did not forget that defeat and went the same way and are again among the top contenders for the championship.

It wasn’t that the Phoenix Suns underestimated the New Orleans Pelicans in their first playoff series. They didn’t try to play their best. Sure, Devin Booker’s injury affected their play, but the offensive leader is back and ready to tear apart the opponent’s defence. This time they will play against the Dallas Mavericks. Monty Williams’ men are in good form, plus the series will start with home games, so the Suns will take to the floor as clear favourites.
In the sixth game of the series against the Pelicans, Chris Paul scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Dallas Mavericks:
Credit must be given to the Mavericks even before they faced the Phoenix Suns. It’s not hard to notice the progress not only of the players but also of the head coach himself. Recall that management decided to let Kristaps Porzingis go, but thanks to Jason Kidd, the Latvian’s move to Washington didn’t have much of an impact on the game.

As the first series against the Utah Jazz proved, the Dallas Mavericks have more than just Luka Doncic. Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson have proven their worth, as well as the individual talents of Max Kleber. The Mavericks players are well aware that the Jazz had some internal problems, but against the Suns, it will be much tougher.
In the sixth game of the series against the Jazz, Joel Embiid scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
