Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Utah Jazz beat the Mavs a couple of weeks ago as 8-point dogs, but I'm not sure if it's safe to trust them to do it again. The Jazz get blown out a lot, and it's led to an 8-10 ATS record. The Mavs are 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games, and they should be able to get whatever they want against that Jazz defense, injuries or not. The Jazz just don't do enough to make me want to get behind them, especially when playing good teams. The Mavs should win this game comfortably.
