PREVIEW: The Phoenix Suns travel to American Airlines Center on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET to face the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference matchup. Phoenix enters on a three-game winning streak after dismantling New Orleans 121-98, while Dallas stumbled in a narrow 116-114 home loss to Milwaukee. The Suns rank fourth in three-point attempt frequency at 48.3%, though they struggle with spacing on offense and defensive rebounding, sitting 24th and 26th respectively. Meanwhile, the Mavericks excel defensively at limiting three-point opportunities, allowing just 35.2% of attempts—the league's best mark—but rank dead last in three-point shooting at 29.5%. Dallas has been defensively stout, allowing only 113.4 points per game, yet they rank dead last offensively with a measly 107.2 points per contest. The Mavericks face mounting injury concerns with Kyrie Irving still sidelined by an ACL injury and both Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II listed as questionable. Phoenix counters with balanced firepower led by Devin Booker averaging 28.4 points, complemented by Grayson Allen's nearly 19 points per game as they shoot an impressive 38.5% from three-point range. The Suns boast relative health with only Jalen Green sidelined by a hamstring injury, giving them a significant advantage in roster availability heading into this crucial matchup.
