Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
It’s hard to justify the Dallas Mavericks as big favorites, as they’ve been hit or miss this season and have lost 3 straight games. However, the talent is still there and the Mavs are capable of turning things around rather quickly. The Jazz are a below-average team at both ends of the floor, and they’ve failed to cover 5 of their last 7 games. I just can’t get there with the Jazz. The Mavs should have a field day offensively. I’ll lay the points with the road team.
