The Suns will get here with a lot of confidence after winning in Game 1. They're winning the 77% of the time this season and have won their last 6 games playing at home vs Dallas. The Mavs will have to make some adjustments and they're going to need to help a lot more to Doncic if they want to beat the Suns. I think the Suns will be too much again for the Mavs.
