Mavericks vs Jazz prediction
The Mavericks have won and covered 7 of their last 10 games, and that includes a 16 point win over the Jazz four days ago. The Jazz have thrown in the towel on the season as they've won just one game since March 6 and the defense is getting rocked to sleep in a lot of these losses. The Jazz were already without Markkanen and Clarkson, and now Dunn is suspended. The Mavericks have the offensive firepower to add to the Jazz's issues, and they need to keep winning to potentially stay out of the play-in tournament. This should be a double-digit win for the Mavericks. I'll lay the points with Dallas on the road.
