Suns vs Mavericks Prediction & Player Props: Luka the Showman

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns travel to Dallas to take on Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference showdown.

The Suns snuck out a win against the Mavs at the beginning of the season, coming back from down 22 to win 107-105 in Phoenix.

The Suns are sitting atop the West right now while the Mavs, at 11-11, are 10th. Luka and the boys need to start picking up some wins and that could start tonight.

The have won 2 of their last 3 after dropping 4 straight, so a win tonight, in front of their home crowd, against the team they bounced in the playoffs last season, would make Luka smile even bigger.

In this battle of these two star-studded teams, who will come out on top and start the week off with a bang?

Prediction

I love the Mavs at home tonight.

I think Luka comes out angry after blowing it against the Suns on opening night and has a massive performance.

A little added bonus, the Dallas Cowboys, along with possible new signing Odell Beckham Jr. will be at the game tonight and Luka is a huge Cowboys fan.

Sounds like Dak Prescott might be among those accompanying Odell Beckham Jr. to the Mavs game tomorrow night.

Not that the Mavs needed more motivation vs. West-best Suns beyond trying to turn around their .500 start, but Cowboys fan Luka Doncic might have a little extra juice.

He is going to want to ball out in front of the boys.

I love Luka and the Mavs to get the job done tonight and cover.

Prop

Luka Dončić o31.5 pts (-120) & a 3’s ladder

Can you tell I love Luka tonight? 😉

I thought about just playing his 3’s but after looking further into it, I think he drops close to 40 tonight.

Luka is a showman, and as I said, the Cowboys and OBJ will be in attendance. Luka is going to be shooting early and often in this one to ball out in front of his favorite team.

Besides the narrative, he scored 35 in the season opener against the Suns and has hit his points in 3 of his last 6.

In 2 of those, he dropped 40+ and in 3 of those, he had 4+ 3s.

Bonus plays:

Luka 35+ (+145)

Luka 40+ (+350)

Luka o2.5 3’s (-120)

4+ 3’s (+220)

5+ 3’s (+550)

It’s gonna be the Luka show tonight and I can’t wait to watch it.
