NBA Odds: Jazz vs. Mavericks prediction, odds and pick
Utah Jazz are surprising people with their success this season. New coach Will Hardy has shown that he can move pieces around a chessboard and develop players. Dallas Mavericks have a problem with not having enough backcourt players to help Luka Doncic. Dallas lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this year. The team misses Jalen Brunson. They also lost against the Thunder. Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson are important to their offensive attack. Lauri Markkanen is a revelation for the Jazz. He is finally living up to his NBA draft position. Mavericks miss Brunston. Leka is not getting enough help in the back court.
The Jazz are getting several points and have just won two straight games. Luka Doncic scored 44 points against Memphis Grizzlies. Dallas is limited and the Jazz's team approach seems to be tailored to this game.
The Mavericks have been slumping in the early part of the season. Luka is going to get his teammates involved. The Jazz are due for regression after sweeping the Grizzlies this past weekend.
The Mavericks might win the game, but the Jazz should be able to keep it close. Utah has been excellent against the spread this season.
The final NBA odds and pick are Jazz +6.5.
