    Why are the Mavs only -3 against a Suns team that are one a B2B?

    • 1/4 - PHX 89 @ DAL 98
    • 1/23 - PHX 87 @ DAL 93
    • 1/30 - DAL 122 @ PHX 99


    Mavs are 3-0 ATS when vs the Suns.


    Did someone die?


    Injuries for Mavs:
    Brendan Haywood - Questionable
    Brandan Wright - Questionable
    Delonte West - Out

    Phoenix:
    None

    Note:
    The Mavs haven't won away from home in nearly three weeks.
    The Mavs have won only twice in their last seven games overall.

    Seems about right to me. May go to +3.5 or +4 by tip off. Suns are playing good ball at home the past month.

    i dont think b2b is a factor here for the suns, in this late stretch they play really well at home
    Mar 04 SAC Win 96-88
    Mar 02 LAC Win 81-78
    Mar 01 MIN Win 104-95

    included 2 won against quality teams: LAC & minn

    the mav do have problem in winning on road, consider these 2 road games
    Mar 02 @NO Loss 97-92
    Feb 29 @MEM Loss 96-85
    they couldnt win at NO

    gortat/fry should be a good match up against dirk

    Good point. I'm not sure how much b2b's play a factor when the 2nd game is at home. I know people will talk about the B2B fatigue for the Suns, but they'll get up for this game. It is a big home game on national TV. Suns will get up for this game.

    I'm leaning PHX.

    • Wright is not questionable. He's not even in Phoenix. He is OUT.

    Can u say trap. Earlier Mavs blew the suns out on a -4 line and now the books open up the Mavs as a -2.5 with the suns on a b2b. I'll take the suns and the under

    I wouldn't exactly call it a trap. Suns are a good team.

    Home dogs are where it is at in the NBA.

    I was leaning Suns, but I'm starting to think of laying off and just fading the Mavs tomorrow in Sac. A rested Sac team at home vs an old Mavs team playing the back end of a b2b should be a strong bet.

    Either way, if you bet Suns tonight and it loses, you should be able to get your money back tomorrow with Sac.E

    EDIT: This is also the first game of a b2b2b for the Mavs. Friday they play in Sac, and Saturday they play in Golden State.

    Leaning Suns too but not sure that its worth playing unless you think they'll actually win straight up. Worst thing could happen if Dallas gets a meaningless FT at the end and wins by 4. Will probably take my chances with the under. Around 82% of the public are playing over in this game.
