The Phoenix Suns will not be playing in the playoffs this year, and judging by what we saw from them last night, it looks like they've just packed it in early. They were held to just 69 points in a blowout loss to the Hawks in Atlanta, and it's hard to imagine they will be any better tonight on the road in Dallas.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Fatigue - The Mavs are well rested, coming off a 123-110 loss to the Warriors on Saturday. The Suns play their second game in as many nights on the road, and with nothing left to play for, it's difficult to see them having a lot of energy tonight.

2. Injuries - The Macs are expecting Rajon Rondo to play tonight, while the Suns will be without PG Brandon Knight and C Alex Len.

3. X-Factor - The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Selection: This is a play on the Dallas Mavericks .(10*)
