NBA Betting Tip
The Phoenix Suns made a statement with a huge 30-point win in game 5 on home court. They absolutely dominated the Mavs and got not just the series lead but the momentum as well. It will be very hard for the Mavs to bounce back after such a loss but they have proved many times in the past seasons that they are a team built for big things. The Mavs were already 2-0 down in this series and managed to win both home games and tie the series at 2 games apiece. Now they need to win again in front of their fans to take the series to the decisive game. A lot will depend on Luka Doncic who enjoys playing big games and has proven himself that he is a real superstar under pressure. Of course, the Slovenian point guard cannot beat the Suns by himself but he has good enough teammates who can make big shots and they will win this one at home.
