Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns Game 7 Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns go head to head for the rights to the Western Conference Finals. This has been an outstanding series so far, and now we get one final game.

Nothing is better in sports than the words "game seven". This series has been the definition of a home-court advantage as the home teams have won all three games so far in this series. The Mavericks have stepped up every time they needed to while the Suns have handled their business at home.

The home team has also covered every single game of this series. The line has stayed the same for every Suns home game in this series, sitting at -6. The star in this series for the Mavs has been Luka Donic. Doncic has looked unguardable at times this series, leading the Mavs' to multiple wins.

The role players for these teams have been the X factor, in my opinion. The star power between Booker and Doncic is always going to be there, but it is going to come down to which role players can make big plays. The Mavericks, on their home court, have seen their role players flourish, while the Suns could say the same about their role players at home.

Reggie Bullock has shot the ball great in Dallas along with Dorian Finney-Smith. At the same time, guys like Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges have played much better at home for Phoenix. This has been a fun series so far, and I expect a great game seven! 

I am backing the Suns on Sunday!

Listen, I love Luka Donic, and what his team has accomplished this year has been a great story, but I am just sticking with the theme of this series. The home team has dominated the series, and I do not think that stops Sunday. The point I will continue to make is about the role players. The role players in this series, for whatever reason, have dominated on home court. I also expect Chris Paul to really step up in game seven, as he has struggled at times in this series. We have ridden the Suns at home all three times in this series, and they have covered each time. I will run it back with a Suns bet one last time!
