I don't expect Mavs will be motivated more than just another regular season game. Based on this I won't be surprised by a blow out Phoenix win, that would actually have little analytics value due to specific circumstances.
Pretty much my feelings as well.
Although I also wouldn't discount the potential turmoil PHX is under. Owner is selling, Crowder is holding out, Paul is another year older, and you have 2 guys who are/were unhappy with how PHX handled their contract extensions (Cam+Ayton).
Lots of background turbulence.
