T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks.

I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks looked really good in their most recent game against the Suns and I think they are going to put up another great performance in this game. The Mavericks have looked good in a majority of their road games in these playoffs but this has also been a very home dominated series. The Mavericks still put up a good fight back in the 1st game and I think with this being game 7 in the series, they are going to put everything on the line here to try and win this game but I think they will at least keep it close even if they do lose. Doncic had a great game in their previous game and I think he is going to continue that performance into this game and carry his team here. They also did a really good job on defense to contain Booker and Paul in that game and I think they will give the same defensive effort in this game to try and keep it close. All of the games in this series have been dominated by the home team and in most cases, the home team has won every game by 10+ points. I think this game will be a lot different because it is game 7 and I expect a big defensive effort from both teams since that is what will win this game for either side. I don't know if the Mavericks are going to pull this game out here but all the pressure is on the Suns here to win since they finished the regular season with the best record and even broke franchise records themselves, but the pressure is on and I think the Mavericks can keep this game really competitive right up to the end. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Suns.
