NBA Betting Lines Analysis and Game Preview
The Phoenix Suns are a perfect example of a team is this very position. They are currently sitting 2.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the West, and still have a legitimate shot of getting in, but only if they string together a very solid run in the last couple of weeks. If they look ahead to the games that they have remaining, the first two meetings that they will see are against teams that are already a lock in the West, the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks. Since both of those opponents have essentially punched their playoff tickets, it can become too easy to start second guessing what these opponents will do. Will they be resting players? Will they be less inspired to give it their all, or will they be looking to cement a higher seeding in the conference? Phoenix have to forget all of that and just go out and play their game. If the Dallas Mavericks, which is who the Suns face on Sunday at the US Airways Arena, are phoning it in for the rest of the year, then they are not doing a very good job of it. After going through a bit of a wobbly patch, the Mavericks have reeled off 3 straight wins, a pair of which came against very good Western Conference foes in the Oklahoma City Thunder and the LA Clippers. Dallas are a lot like San Antonio in many ways this season in that they have had to listen to the talk all year long about how they are now too long in the tooth to make a serious run. This is a team that you dismiss at your own peril, though, as they can still light it up when they really need to.
