Dončić has led the Mavericks to a 29-26 record this season, which is good for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Mavericks are currently in a playoff spot, but they are just one game ahead of the seventh-place Los Angeles Lakers.

Suns Continue to Roll

The Suns have won four straight games and are now 41-15 this season. The Suns are the top team in the Western Conference and are one of the favorites to win the NBA championship.

The Suns have a lot of depth and experience on their roster. Booker is one of the best young players in the NBA, and Chris Paul is a future Hall of Famer.

Mavericks Need to Improve

The Mavericks have lost three of their last four games and are now 29-26 this season. The Mavericks are currently in a playoff spot, but they need to improve their play if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs.

The Mavericks need to find a way to get more consistent on offense. They have been too reliant on Dončić to create scoring opportunities, and they need to find other players who can step up and contribute.
