On Thursday the Suns wrap up their five game road trip in Dallas.

Mavericks are 25-19 and are 9-1 in their last ten games.

Dallas plays the Raptors on Wednesday so they will be playing the Suns on the second night of back-to-back games.

Suns are 34-9 and are on a four game winning streak.

The game is scheduled to be televised nationally on TNT.

Start time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Arizona time.

As mentioned, the Mavericks play the Raptors at home on Wednesday.

Hopefully we will hear more about Ayton's status later today.

Dallas has been playing outstanding defense even with Luka on the court. They have the best defensive efficiency over their last 10 games. And Luka hasn’t shot the ball particularly well. Tough game to end this road trip and I expect a battle. Let’s go Suns!

The Mavs have had some quality wins since the new year, but they also lost to the Knicks by 23 points in that stretch.

Yeah, it was strange, lost big to the Knicks on the road and then followed it up by blowing out Memphis on the road.

This is another high profile show me game. Fell on our faces the last couple times. Hoping we snap that streak and come away with a 5 game sweep on the road!

It's not soundimg like Deandre Ayton will play on Thursday as he didn't do anything on the court today.

Hoping the Suns can keep their 8 game winning streak over the Mavericks going.

The Suns are 34-9 and the combination of Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton have only played in 23 games together so far this year.

That’s pretty impressive.

Mavericks are playing the raptors tonight, that should help offset Phoenix being on the tail end of a roadtrip

I bet the Suns spent the last 2 days in Phoenix, this was a strangely constructed road swing. Twice we had multiple nights off in a row, you almost never see that on road swings.

Detroit was a reschedule so that likely has something to do with it.
