Dallas are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against Utah.

Dallas are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games on the road.

Dallas are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Utah.

Utah are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Utah's last 5 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Jazz have been up and down this season but they have a good record at home and have won 4 of their last 6 games there. The Mavs have lost 7 of their last 10 games and will be without Luka Doncic and Wood for this game so the offense will be shorthanded. The last time these teams met the Mavs won by only 3 points where Doncic scored 33 points and Wood 21 points. That being said I'm going with the Jazz as they have the home court advantage and will likely have Olynyk back. Take Utah.
