NBA 2021-22 will see Dallas Wings facing off against Phoenix Suns on Saturday, 07 May 2022 at 07:00 AM IST

• The Suns blew out the Mavericks 129-109 in Game 2, with Chris Paul and Devin Booker combining for 58 points of the team’s total. Barring Deandre Ayton, who scored nine points, all other starters scored in double-digits to help the Suns get ahead 2-0 in the series.
• The Mavericks are struggling to find consistent scoring on the roster from anyone who isn’t named Luka Doncic. He has scored a total of 80 points in the first two games, with Maxi Kleber being their second-highest contributor, averaging just 14 points per game.
• The Phoenix Suns have looked like the better team in the series so far, with players who can contribute in multiple areas of the game. However, with the Mavericks playing at home over the next two games, Phoenix will face a stiffer challenge. Dallas, meanwhile, needs someone apart from Doncic to ignite the crowd with a strong performance.

Phoenix Suns

• The Phoenix Suns look like a determined unit after overcoming a spirited challenge from the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round.
• Devin Booker seems to have found his footing, after missing three games against the Pelicans due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He scored 30 points in Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks, shooting 57.9% from the field, including five three-pointers.
• Mikal Bridges and JaVale McGee are handy on the defensive end, causing trouble to the Mavericks’ offense. Chris Paul has been efficient as well, displaying his high-level Basketball IQ, especially in late-game situations. The 36-year-old has averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists for the Suns so far in the series.

Dallas Mavericks

• The theme of the first-round series against the Utah Jazz for the Dallas Mavericks was that of players stepping up and contributing in Luka Doncics absence.
• Prime among them was Jalen Brunson, who averaged 32 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists without Doncic. He played incredibly well to give his team a 2-1 series lead. The Mavericks then progressed to the Conference Semifinals after winning the series 4-2 as Doncic returned to action for Games 4 to 6.
• Fast forward to the Suns series, Brunson has scored only 22 points in two games. Spencer Dinwiddie, who was also impressive in spurts against the Jazz, has not been able to make much of an impact either.
• Doncic is leading his team in all major categories - scoring, rebounding and playmaking - with very little assistance.
