NBA Best Bet Trifecta For Monday, December 5

There are interesting NBA matchups on Monday, December 5th. There is a rematch of last year's playoff series between Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks. I will also give a best bet in the Heat-Grizzlies and Celtics-Raptors meetings.

Phoenix Suns (16-7) at Dallas Mavericks (11-11) is a revenge game for Phoenix, who were eliminated in the second-round of the Western Conference playoffs last season by the Mavs. Phoenix came back from a 22-point deficit to beat Dallas 107-105 at home in each team's first game of this season.

Phoenix is 6-1 straight up over the past two weeks. Dallas is 2-4 SU.

Phoenix is 10-3 ATS as a road underdog since 2021 with a +4.3 margin. Phoenix has covered five of their last six games on the second of a back-to-back. Dallas is 0-10 ATC this season following a win with -9.5 AATS margin, whereas Dallas are 1-2 SU with an -3.0 non-garbage time nRTG and 0 -1 AET.

Phoenix is second in adjusted nRTG and Dallas is seventh. Suns are 5-0 SU with a +10.7 non-garbage time n RTG vs. top-10 teams and a -9.5 ATS margin. Mavs are 2- 10 AATS in their last 12 games vs teams with winning record. Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum are the best odds to win NBA MVP. Devin Booker is tied for seventh place.
