Pick ATS: Mavericks +6
The Mavs have found new life in the series . After going down 2-0, they’ve won two straight and are shooting the ball extremely well. Jalen Brunson has gotten more involved and Dorian Finney-Smith broke out in Game 4. Suns guard Chris Paul should snap back at home after a five-point performance in his last game. Phoenix should win the game, but the Mavs have found something and will keep it close.
Over/Under: Over 213
The first two games of the series in Phoenix went over, and the average total at the Footprint Center is 222 points. The Suns play a lot better at home and Paul should have a better performance, which helps out the rest of the roster. Doncic and Devin Booker should get their points as well, making this a high-scoring contest. Take the over.
