The Mavs and the Suns have been rivals since the mid-2000's, back when Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash were dueling in the postseason. Now, the rivalry has been renewed and this time it's Doncic and Devin Booker going at each other.

With Dallas recently acquiring Kyrie Irving, they've added valuable help that could boost the Mavs' quest to win the title. According to NBA legend Magic Johnson, landing Irving is possibly the second biggest trade during the trade deadline.
