24 January 2024

The Phoenix Suns look to keep their winning streak alive Wednesday against the struggling Dallas Mavericks, and our Suns vs. Mavericks NBA player props based on the best NBA odds anticipate a big day for the biggest stars in this one.

The Phoenix Suns are finally healthy, and we're starting to see the results for a team that has been among the favorites by the latest NBA Finals odds all season long. They'll get another chance to prove their might Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks, who need a win in the worst way against their longtime rivals.

After a hot start to the season, the Mavericks have lost two straight and four of their last six to drop to the eighth spot in the loaded Western Conference. They sit just one game behind the Suns, who have won six consecutive contests to roar back into the title conversation with a finally intact lineup.

Will we see Phoenix's stars shine bright once again? Or will Luka Doncic and Co. bounce back at home?

Suns vs. Mavericks props

Kevin Durant Over 2.5 made threes (-125 via DraftKings)⭐⭐⭐⭐

As we've seen over the years, scoring is contagious in the NBA, especially among the league's top stars. And in a week that's featured some historic performances, Durant seems to have caught the bug, too.

The 13-time All-Star is coming off consecutive 40-point performances this week, most recently dropping 43 points during Monday's victory over the Indiana Pacers. Crucially, he also tied his season high with six made 3-pointers in that contest on a ridiculous 15 attempts from deep. The latter also tied his career high.

I don't expect him to match that volume, but he faces a favorable matchup against a Mavericks defense allowing the 10th-most attempts per game (36.2) from beyond the arc. Durant has drilled three-plus triples in four straight games, and he's a solid bet to hit that mark again.

This may feel like a steep price to pay, but this prop is dealing at -150 or shorter through three of our five best sports betting apps. So I don't mind these -125 odds via DraftKings on a total that's well within reach.

Also, DraftKings is offering a 50% boost on one three-plus leg NBA parlay or SGP. Be sure to use our DraftKings promo code. Offer excludes Ontario.

Jusuf Nurkic Over 11.5 rebounds (+100 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We've targeted Nurkic's rebounding prop a few times this season, and it's easy to love his chances of posting another huge game against one of the league's worst rebounding teams.

Nurkic didn't play the last time these squads faced off on Christmas Day, when the Suns outrebounded the Mavericks by seven without their starting center. That absence came in the middle of eight consecutive games with double-digit rebounds for Nurkic, who cleared this total in seven of those contests.

He's since grabbed at least 12 boards in six of his last eight games and leads the league in total rebound rate (22%). Now he faces a Dallas lineup that ranks third-worst in rebound rate (47.5%), and we're catching +100 odds at bet365 on a prop dealing as short as -130 elsewhere. Sign me up for that.

Luka Doncic to record a triple-double (+350 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐

There's much more risk with this bet than the other two, as Doncic is questionable to play with back tightness. But if he suits up, Doncic will get a real shot to post his third consecutive triple-double.

Doncic returned this week after missing three games with an ankle injury and immediately made his presence felt with two straight 33-point triple-doubles over a pair of Mavericks losses. He was particularly impressive during Monday's defeat to the Boston Celtics, setting a season-high in rebounds (18) with the fifth-most assists (13) of his season thus far.

He's posted eight triple-doubles in his first 36 games (22.2%), which is the exact implied probability of these +350 odds via bet365. I'd put his chances a little higher than that with teammate Kyrie Irving (thumb) questionable to play after sporting a brace on his right hand following Monday's loss.
