The upcoming match in the regular season is against two offensive powerhouses of the Western Conference. The Dallas Mavericks will go against the formidable team of the Phoenix Suns who are on a remarkable run. They boast a six-game winning streak and have dominated strong teams like the Lakers, Pacers, Pelicans, etc. Whereas the Mavericks are coming off a loss and are low on momentum holding a two-game losing streak. Even though they have a strong team with the dynamic duo of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, the team is not been able to produce the desired results.

So, if the Big D wants to break their losing streak and emerge victorious against the Suns, Irving and Doncic will have to perform exceptionally well tonight. However, are they a part of the clash against the Suns?

Luka Doncic & Kyrie Irving are questionable for tonight

According to the injury report, Luka Doncic has been suffering from lower back tightness, and Kyrie Irving has sprained his right thumb. Due to that, both the stars were questionable for the upcoming matchup against the Suns. However, as per the latest reports, Luka is now confirmed fit to play. Irving is also confident that he can play through the injury and wants to be a part of tonight’s game, but doctors have advised him to take safety measures. So his participation is still doubtful.

Despite Doncic having a great season so far and averaging 33.6 points 9.3 assists, and 8.5 rebounds per game, the Mavs are looking incapable of making it to the deep playoff run. Even in their latest match against the Celtics, the Slovenian Sensation put up a triple-double of 33 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists. However, even that wasn’t enough to guide his team to victory as they suffered a 119-110 loss. So, in the upcoming match, the 24-year-old guard will have to shoulder the responsibility of his team and make sure to give another impressive performance tonight against the Suns.

What can we expect from the Suns going into this matchup?

The Phoenix Suns, fresh off a spectacular comeback win against the Chicago Bulls, are now on a six-game-winning run with a record of 25-18. Not only that, even their formidable trio of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant are healthy, which is critical for their success. However, the Suns will now need to demonstrate the same spirit and perseverance they did against the Bulls in their next game against the Dallas Mavericks.

While they have more offensive assets than the Mavericks, their ability to defend efficiently will determine their success as they understand the value of consistency and a solid defensive approach in securing victories. Due to that, the game tonight is going to be a fast-paced offensive game, so who do you think will emerge victorious? Let us know in the comments below.
