Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns 2 prediction, odds, TV channel

The Dallas Mavericks are monitoring the health of Luka Doncic closely ahead of their second straight matchup against Phoenix Suns on Nov. 19. The 22-year-old superstar suffered ankle and knee sprains with 44 seconds remaining in Mavs’ win over the Nuggets on Monday night, and he already missed one game.

The Suns needed a fourth-quarter rally to defeat Dallas on Wednesday for their tenth straight victory. Kristaps Porzingis dished out a career-high seven assists, and his play is something to watch in the Mavs second straight nationally televised game.

It should be another entertaining game between the Mavericks and Suns on Friday evening, and here is a look at how to watch, the odds, and more heading into the contest.
