Get ready for an enticing showdown in the NBA, as the Phoenix Suns take on the Dallas Mavericks for their second clash of a two-game set on Monday.

CP3 had the team-high 29 points to go with 12 assists in 35 minutes from the floor. Ayton had a terrific night with a double-double, in which he registered 18 points and a whopping 17 rebounds in 39 minutes from the floor.
After losing three games in a row, the Suns have now bounced back and are on a two-game winning streak. With momentum on their side, the Suns will aim to sweep the Mavericks in their next matchup on Monday night.
The Phoenix Suns have played exceptional defense this campaign, conceding 107.5 points per game. Barring any major injury or COVID-19 related issues, the Suns are looking good for a deep playoffs run later in the year.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are losing control of their season and could risk slipping down further in the Western Conference table. They will enter their next game on the back of an embarrassing five-game losing streak - a shocking stat-line for a team that boasts of having a top MVP candidate in their roster.
In their last outing, the Mavericks couldn't hold their nerves in the final stretch of the game. They allowed Phoenix to go on a scoring run that resulted in their defeat. Luka Doncic posted a 29-point game performance but could not help his side in securing a win.
However, the Dallas Mavericks will offer a new look on Monday as they expect Kristaps Porzingis and Maxi Kleber to suit up. The big men are expected to help Dallas fare better this time around.
