The Dallas Mavericks are all set to host Phoenix Suns on Sunday, March 9 at the American Airlines Center. It will be interesting to see whether Suns star player Kevin Durant features against the Mavericks.
Will Kevin Durant start against Dallas Mavericks?
The Phoenix Suns have a current record of 29-34 and have a short injury list. They are placed eleventh in the Western Conference. The talking point going into the match is Durant's availability for the Mavericks.
The 36-year-old forward will start against the Mavericks. He has been the shining light for the Suns and has been the standout performer despite his lingering injury concerns. In the last 20 games, Durant has averaged 22.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
The two players who are out for the Suns include Monte Morris (back) and Cody Martin (abdomen).
Dallas Mavericks Injury Report
On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks have their own injury issues as their star player, Kyrie Irving is out for the season due to a knee injury. This will be an added advantage for the Suns especially if Durant is given the green signal to start. The Mavericks have an average record of 32-32 and sit at the tenth spot in the Western Conference.
Phoenix's offense if led by Devin Booker as he averages 26.0 points per game, is ranked 14th in the league but their defense has let them down on many occasions. They have allowed 116.5 points per game (24th in NBA).
Durant's ability to score freely with his 2.6 three-pointers per game adds another dimension to the Suns offence. His shooting combined with Booker's playmaking, makes them a force to reckon with. But, the team have struggled as they rank 26th in the league when it comes to rebounds.
