\u00a0blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers<\/a> and brought Anthony Davis to Dallas. With Davis nursing an injury, many are wondering \u2014 will the All-Star forward suit up against the Phoenix Suns tonight?<\/p>\nFor now, Davis is listed as questionable for tonight’s game.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks are coming off a narrow loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night. In the game, rookie Cooper Flagg had a career-high 26 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.<\/p>\n
The Suns (6-5) have gotten off to a solid start this season, despite playing without Jalen Green, who Phoenix acquired in the Kevin Durant trade. Devin Booker has led the Suns offensively, averaging 28.4 points and 6.8 assists per game, and role players like Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks have stepped up to provide scoring in Green’s absence.<\/p>\n
A key stat for the Mavericks to capitalize on against Phoenix is turnovers. Booker is averaging just over 4 turnovers per game, the third-worst average this season league-wide behind Stephon Castle and James Harden. As a team, the Suns rank third in opponent points allowed off turnovers with 22.8 points per game.<\/p>\n
