The bad blood between Booker and Doncic is also worth noting, as it adds an extra layer of competitiveness to the game. In fact, in the two games he has played with [Kevin Durant](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1998/kevin-durant), he has averaged an impressive 36 ppg. The Over/Under for this tilt is currently set at 232.5. This game could potentially be a first-round matchup in the playoffs, which makes it even more important for both teams to perform well. [Devin Booker](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/384/devin-booker) is a scoring machine who has yet to show any signs of slowing down. The Mavericks are -1.5 favorites over the Suns as of this writing. The outcome of this game will likely come down to which duo makes a bigger impact. This game is likely to be a high-scoring affair, which plays into the hands of someone like Booker, who excels in a fast-paced offensive game. While Dallas did slow down Booker in their December matchup, they can no longer rely on double teams to limit his scoring output due to the presence of Durant on the Suns' roster. This willingness to take shots will be an important factor in his ability to score over 26 points against the Mavericks. This is about sending a message before the playoffs in their fourth and final matchup of the season. Dallas has already claimed victory in two of the three matchups this season, but Phoenix is determined to turn the tables.

Matt Moore previews how to bet Suns vs. Mavericks, including updated odds, picks & predictions for Sunday's game.

I like the Suns in this matchup. Still, the Mavericks have given up an opponent team total over in four of their last five games. The Mavericks will likely try sending doubles against Booker and Durant; that’s been their strategy vs. The Suns have held their past two opponents under their team total in both games. That’s in line with the fact that Dallas is just 10-18-2 ATS as a home favorite this season. This means that early in the game, Devin Booker is acting as facilitator, then shifting into scoring mode when Durant’s not on the floor.

Phoenix Suns' Deandre Ayton, Terrence Ross available vs. Mavericks (Arizona Sports)

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is available to play for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

The game starts at 11 a.m. For Dallas, forward Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear) was a late scratch after initially being listed as probable to play. Teammate Josh Okogie had a fall near the end of the game where he ran into Ayton’s legs after landing on the ground.

We go over some of the best betting options for Sunday's matchup between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.

The Suns are 3-3 on the under is the last six games, while the Mavericks have gone over their totals in three of the last five games. With a relatively higher total, the under is the move. Update: Ayton is in for the Suns and Kleber has been ruled out for the Mavericks. The Mavericks are coming off a steller game from Irving and Luka Doncic but still might not have enough around the two guards to be considered a title threat. The total has gone up to 234.5 and even with Ayton in, we’ll keep our selection on the under. The Suns are now 1.5-point favorites and we’ll maintain our ATS pick even with this change.

Kevin Durant's game-winner, Devin Booker-Luka Doncic incident ... (ClutchPoints)

The Suns pulled out a big win over the Mavs, with Kevin Durant hitting a game-winner and Devin Booker and Luka Doncic getting into it.

It has been more of a struggle for them with Irving and Doncic together, but they’re obviously still very dangerous. In case you forgot, the Mavs embarrassed the Suns in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals in Phoenix. Doncic struggled with his shot, though, going just 8-of-23 from the field and missing the most important shot at the end. Unfortunately, Doncic smoked the floater. Sunday brought an epic matinee affair between these two squads, with the Suns coming out on top against the Mavs courtesy of a Durant game-winner and two clutch free throws in the final minute. — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp)
