Mavericks at Suns playoffs Game 5 odds, how to watch, predictions

The Dallas Mavericks held serve by winning two games on their home floor to even their Western Conference semifinal series against the Phoenix Suns at two games apiece. It is now a best-of-three series with the Suns holding the homecourt edge. Luka Doncic and company must win one in Phoenix if they want to advance.

Chris Paul will be looking to get back on track after two uncharacteristically bad games in Dallas. He had a season-high seven turnovers in Game 3 before fouling out in just 23 minutes in Game 4. The Mavericks are going to try to force CP3 to guard Luka and wear him out, but the future Hall of Famer has been lights out at the Footprint Center this year.

The Suns have not lost three straight games this season, but will the Mavs make it happen with a victory on Tuesday night? How does Phoenix adjust after losing two in Dallas? Fans will not want to miss this pivotal game, so here is a look at the odds, how to watch, and more.
