Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Prediction
On paper the Mavericks should be favored, but that injury report looks awful, and I can’t justify laying points until there’s some clarity. The Jazz have also been profitable at times this season, which includes a 13-11 ATS record and winning 3 of their last 5 games overall. If the Mavs are going to be without so many rotation players, I’ll grab the bucket with the Jazz at home. This is a spot where you have to check the inner report closer to tip before locking in something. At the time of this writing, I’ll lean Jazz.
