As for the Mavs, they are currently 5-4 in the West and need a major turnaround after this recent loss. Up next for them are the Denver Nuggets. They will play away from home court. Doncic and the team will look to rebound quickly. The Mavs will need to be at their flying best if they are to secure victory against the Nuggets.

It’s important to note that the Suns have now won 6 straight games, each by 6 points or fewer. It’s just the fifth time in NBA history that’s happened. The first since the 2009-10 Hornets. The Suns are now 8-1 in the West and sit on top of the table. If the players remain healthy, the Suns can make huge noise at the end of the season.
