Mavericks, Suns Tangle In Western Matchup
The Dallas Mavericks will host the Phoenix Suns at American Airlines Center on Monday.

The Mavericks (11-11) are coming off a comfortable win over the New York Knicks on Saturday, defeating them by a 121-100 score on the road and moving to .500 once again. Luka Doncic was the best player for the Mavericks in this win and carried the team with a 30-point performance that also included eight rebounds and seven assists, while Spencer Dinwiddie came close to a triple-double after delivering 17 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. Tim Hardaway had an outstanding performance as well and notched 28 points with seven boards, and Maxi Kleber added 13 points with three rebounds off the bench. Dallas has now gone 9-3 when playing at home this season.

Christian Wood, Tyler Dorsey and McKinley Wright are all questionable for Monday’s matchup due to illness. Kemba Walker (not injury related) remains out.

The Suns (16-7) are coming off one of their best performances of the season following an impressive 133-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, in a game where they looked absolutely dominant from start to finish. Deandre Ayton led the way for the Suns with 25 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, while Devin Booker looked good in his role as the main playmaker and finished with 20 points and eight assists. Mikal Bridges also had 20 points and added four boards with three dimes, and Dario Saric recorded 17 points. Jock Landale had 12 points off the bench, and Landry Shamet finished with 10 points and three assists. Josh Okogie delivered nine points, 11 boards, five assists and three steals. Phoenix has now won seven of its last eight games and quickly bounced back from its ugly loss to the Houston Rockets, 122-121, a few days ago.

Chris Paul (heel), Torrey Craig (groin), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Jae Crowder (not injury related) are all out for this game.
