NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Paul has been shut down, but will that be enough for the Mavericks?

The Mavericks have completely taken Chris Paul out of his rhythm, and his numbers are way down. He has only averaged 6 assists per game while committing close to 4 turnovers per game, which is uncharacteristic of the guard who had 11+ assists per game in the first round while coming below 2 turnovers a game. This is one of the reasons why the Mavs have been able to extend the series.

Then, of course, another major reason why this series has reached seven games has been the elite defense of the Mavs on their home floor while Luka Doncic has drained 30+ points throughout the series and has forced the Suns to revise their gameplan and lineups time and time again. Jalen Brunson has been reliable as well, especially in the last four games.

This is the ultimate game of the series and of course, the Suns are favored but will the trend break here? For that to happen, the Mavs will need Jalen Brunson, Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber, and Spencer Dinwiddie to pull through. Meanwhile, the Suns will also be needing Chris Paul to come back in rhythm while Mikal Bridges is also due for one of his special games.

Fantasy-related tips

Deandre Ayton has emerged as the most reliable Fantasy option for the Suns due to his incredible scoring and rebounding. Chris Paul’s stocks have fallen as discussed above while Devin Booker continues to be the most productive offensive player during most games. Mikal Bridges’ stocks have fallen while Jae Crowder and Cameron Johnson are reliable floater options in fantasy lineups.

Of course, Luka Doncic has been the most viable fantasy option in more ways than not throughout this series. Jalen Brunson has been reliable but apart from these two, other players have been up-and-down, especially when the series has gone away from home.
