The Dallas Mavericks ( 47 - 31 ) defeated the Phoenix Suns ( 39 - 40 ) 107 - 104 on Wednesday in Dallas . Dirk Nowitzki led the way for Dallas , scoring 19 points ( 7 - 15 FG , 1 - 4 3Pt ) , including the final four for the Mavericks to seal the deal . But , it was Tyson Chandler who had the monster performance Wednesday night , scoring 12 points ( 5 - 9 FG ) and grabbing 23 rebounds in 34 minutes . It was Chandler 's first time since early December where he was able to grab 20 - plus rebounds . Monta Ellis scored a game - high 20 points , but it took a 10 - of - 21 shooting effort from the field to reach that mark . Rajon Rondo was the fourth Dallas starter to score in double figures , recording 12 points ( 6 - 9 FG ) and seven assists in 30 minutes . Off the bench , Devin Harris contributed 12 points on 5 - of - 9 shooting , while Amar'e Stoudemire 's 10 points round out the six Mavericks who scored in double figures . As a team , Dallas shot just 22 percent from three , but their offense still worked efficiently , as they had 18 assists to just eight turnovers on the night . Even with the win , the Mavericks continue to sit comfortably in seventh place in the Western Conference , and that is likely where they will be once the playoffs begin . With the loss , the Suns were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth consecutive season . Gerald Green was phenomenal in the losing effort , scoring 30 points ( 10 - 19 FG , 5 - 10 3Pt , 5 - 5 FT ) in 30 minutes , but his season - best performance was just not enough . Markieff and Marcus Morris both got the start Wednesday and combined for 31 points , 15 rebounds and 11 assists , while Eric Bledsoe played poorly by his standards , posting just 14 points ( 5 - 7 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt ) , one rebound and three assists in 33 minutes . T.J. Warren has continued to be solid , as Phoenix has given him more run off the bench as of late . He had 10 points on 4 - of - 9 shooting in 24 minutes off the bench . Up next , the Mavericks will head to Denver to take on the Nuggets Friday , while the Suns will travel to New Orleans to play the Pelicans on Friday .
