DAL vs PHX Dream11: Dallas Mavericks will be eying their second consecutive win when they host Phoenix Suns in the 2019-20 NBA regular-season match at American Airlines Center, on Wednesday morning (IST). The Mavs defeated Oklahoma City Thunder 97-107 at Chesapeake Energy Arena in the last game, an immediate response to the 112-107 defeat at Utah Jazz prior to last game. With that win, the Mavericks are now 29-17 in the season and sit 5th in the Western Conference heading into this match.
Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, are 5-5 in the last 10 games and arrive in this game having lost the last game 114-109 against Memphis Grizzlies. In fact, that defeat was the 27th for them this season and they keep tumbling down the table. Having said that, three games separate them from the playoffs spots, and with an almost half the season still to go, the deficit is more than bridgeable.
