DP’S PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 57-35
DALLAS VS PHOENIX
The equation is quite simple here, the Suns are gunning for the 9 seed and a perfect 8-0 bubble record.
The motivation for Dallas is slim to none in this fixture because their seeding is already set (playing the 2nd seed LA Clippers).
Booker is arguably the hottest player outside of Lillard and considering he has steered the Suns to 7 straight – I’m expecting Dallas to double him at various points. This will open up Ayton who should capitalize at the rim. He has been lame in his past two outings. I expect much more offense through him tomorrow.
DP’S PICK – DEANDRE AYTON OVER 18.5 POINTS

The Suns are the hottest team in the bubble and have covered the number in each of their last 7 and in 5 of their last 6 against Dallas. The Mavericks should rest some of their starters for this matchup.

Portland look for their 3rd-straight win following a 134-131 win over Dallas on Tuesday. Lillard scored 61 points and Portland took ownership of the 8th spot in the West standings.
Brooklyn also won their 3rd-straight after a 108-96 win over Orlando on Tuesday. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Jeremiah Martin both with 24 points.
Brooklyn are in 7th place in the East and have secured a place in the postseason.
Portland must win to guarantee a spot in the play-in game between the 8th and 9th place finishers in the West and must pull out a key win here.
Portland more to play for here, but that -9.0 line is a little too high.
