Here are the latest Suns vs. Mavericks odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.
🎯 Suns vs. Mavericks score prediction: Suns 132, Mavericks 117
Phoenix is fresh off a 149-141 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday, and the team should be highly motivated to get back in the win column. Phoenix clawed its way back in that one, and Kevin Durant buried a three as time expired to send the game to overtime before Nikola Jokic and Co. sent them packing.
Dallas has lost four straight by an average of 20 points. The team hung around with Memphis until the final minutes of Friday’s 11-point loss, but ultimately, Dallas is not in a position to compete with anyone. Phoenix’s generous defense should allow the Mavs to score some points, but I expect Phoenix to win this one by double digits.
I predict the Suns will beat the Mavericks by a final score of 132-117.

🏀 Best Kevin Durant prop pick: Over 32.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -106 via FanDuel ($10 to win $9.43)

Durant is averaging 33 points and rebounds per game this season, so it will simply take an average performance to hit the Over on this line. Durant has gone for at least 33 PR in 25 of 50 games this season, but he’s been even better of late.
Durant hit the Over on this line in three straight games and five of six, and he gets a tremendous matchup with a depleted Mavericks defense. Dallas has allowed 117.6 points per game across the last nine (11th-most) and 51.7 rebounds (most in the NBA).
Durant leads his team in rebounds since the break, and he’ll get to crash the glass today against a Dallas team that’s missing its top-four frontcourt options. He averaged 36.4 PR in three matchups with the Mavericks this season and hit the Over in each of them. He’ll do it again today.

🏀 Best Naji Marshall prop pick: Over 28.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -118 via FanDuel ($10 to win $8.47)
Dallas is missing nearly all of its starters and key role players, which means we should see plenty of Marshall again today. Across the last three games, he leads the Mavericks in usage rate, and his production has taken off.
In that three-game span, Marshall has averaged 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3.3 dimes while hitting the Over on this line in each contest. The Mavs are particularly shorthanded in the frontcourt, and we should expect plenty of rebounds from Marshall to complement his scoring.
Since the All-Star break, no team has surrendered more points per game than the Suns at a whopping 125.4. Marshall should have no problem hitting the Over as he sees huge minutes and usage against an exploitable defense.
📊 Best Naji Marshall prop bet odds
🏀 Best Devin Booker prop pick: Over 32.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -114 via FanDuel ($10 to win $8.77)
Booker has taken over as Phoenix’s primary ball-handler and facilitator since returning from the All-Star break, and he leads the Suns in usage rate in that span. Across his last nine games, Booker has hit the Over on this line five times while averaging 33.1 PA.
This season, he’s averaged 32 PA at home and 33.7 on the road. Booker hit the Over on this line in 31 of 57 games, including 16 of 29 on the road.
The Mavericks’ defense has fallen apart thanks to numerous injuries, and the team has surrendered the 11th-most points per game since the break. Dallas has also given up the 12th-most assists, setting up Booker nicely to cash the Over.
