The Suns will host the Mavericks in Arizona on Monday night as part of the NBA's Christmas Day slate.

The Suns have not been able to reach preseason expectations after being hit with multiple injuries to key players, including offseason acquisition Bradley Beal. They are currently 11th in the Western Conference standings, leaving them on the outside of the playoff and Play-In Tournament pictures.

The Mavericks are holding onto the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference standings, keeping themselves out of the Play-In Tournament mix. They are 9-6 on the road this season.
