These two teams are similar with their up-tempo styles and scoring from the perimeter. Dallas is the top scoring team in the NBA, but the Suns rank sixth in points per game and are No. 1 in free throw percentage.

Phoenix got back on track with a 116-99 home win against Indiana. That was back on Tuesday. The rested Suns haven't played since. They could have back Isaiah Thomas, who has missed the past four games with an ankle injury.

Dallas just finished a 4-0 road trip against Eastern Conference foes. The Mavericks haven't been home in more than a week so their focus and concentration may be off. The Mavericks have won five in a row, but none of those victories were by more than seven points.

The Mavericks are surrendering 108.6 points per game during their last six games, although two of those games went into overtime. After slow starts, Phoenix guards Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe have picked up their games. Dragic has scored more than 20 points in back-to-back games for the first time this season while Bledsoe is averaging better than 20 points during his last five games.

The Sun have covered 69 percent of the time the last 29 times when facing an opponent with a winning home record.
