The Utah Jazz continue on the road and will visit the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. This is the second time these teams face off this season, Utah won the last game 112-102 at home.

UTAH JAZZ

The Jazz have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are 19-18 on the road so far this season with a 45-29 record overall ranking 1st in the Northwest division and 4th in the western conference. Utah is seventh in the league in 3-point percentage, shooting 36.3% as a team from deep this season. Royce O'Neale leads the team shooting 40.5% from 3-point range.

In their last 10 games the Jazz are 5-5, averaging 112.8 points, 46.6 rebounds, 21.5 assists, 7.3 steals and 5.4 blocks per game while shooting 46.1% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 107.2 points.

INJURIES: Bogdanovic, Azubuike and House Jr. are out.

DALLAS MAVERICKS

The Mavericks have also lost 3 of  their last 5 games and are 25-12 at home, they have a 45-29 record overall ranking second in the Southwest. Dallas leads the Western Conference in team defense, allowing 104.1 points while holding opponents to 45.6% shooting.

BETTING TRENDS

Utah are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games on the road.

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

Dallas are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

Dallas are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games.

Prediction

These are two elite defenses, the Mavericks are allowing only 102.8 ppg at home while the Jazz are allowing 106.8 ppg in their last 10 games. With the Jazz struggling to score lately and the Mavs playing good at home I think the play here is Mavericks and the Under.

PICK: Mavericks ML (-105) Under 214 (-110)
