Phoenix Suns beat Mavericks to go 8-0

The Phoenix Suns finished their eight-game seeding schedule perfect after blasting Dallas, 128-102, Thursday but still don't know if they're going to advance to the play-in tournament.

The Suns (34-39) posted their longest winning streak since the 2009-10 season when they won 10 a row.

If the Nets beat the Blazers, the Suns will at least get an opportunity to break that decade drought. They'd have to beat Memphis twice in the play-in to return to the postseason, but the Grizzlies aren't the same team went 3-1 against them.

Memphis is without Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee), Tyus Jones (knee) and Justise Winslow (hip). The Grizzlies finished 2-6 in the bubble while the Suns went 8-0 with Devin Booker leading the way.

If the Blazers lose, the Suns will reach the play-in and have to beat Memphis twice to earn the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference.

One loss to the Grizzlies would end their season. Game 1 is Saturday at 11:30 a.m. on ABC and Game 2, if necessary, is Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN. Both games will be played at The Field House.

If the Blazers win, Phoenix's season will be over.
