Through 2 Quarters
Down one at the end of last quarter, the Dallas Mavericks have now snagged the lead. At halftime neither squad has the matchup in the bag, but the Mavericks lead 57-55 over the Phoenix Suns.
Dallas has been relying on the performance of center Willie Cauley-Stein, who has ten points and two assists in addition to six rebounds and two blocks. One thing to keep an eye out for is Luka Doncic's foul situation as he currently sits at three.
Phoenix has been relying on point guard Chris Paul, who has 11 points and six assists along with two boards, and center Deandre Ayton, who has eight points and three assists along with seven boards.
This is the first time Dallas has been ahead going into the third quarter in the past five games.

What to Know
The Dallas Mavericks haven't won a game against the Phoenix Suns since Nov. 29 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. The Mavericks are getting right back to it as they host Phoenix at 9 p.m. ET Jan. 30 at American Airlines Center. Phoenix will be strutting in after a win while Dallas will be stumbling in from a loss.
On Friday, Dallas lost to the Utah Jazz on the road by a decisive 120-101 margin. Dallas was down 94-68 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. The losing side was boosted by point guard Luka Doncic, who had 25 points and seven assists in addition to six rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Suns made easy work of the Golden State Warriors on Thursday and carried off a 114-93 victory. Phoenix's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but small forward Mikal Bridges led the charge as he had 20 points and five assists.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Mavericks are expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
Dallas is now 8-11 while Phoenix sits at 9-8. Phoenix is 3-5 after wins this season, and Dallas is 4-6 after losses.
