Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz Preview

On the season the Mavs are 35-43-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 36-43-1 and the Jazz are 43-34-3 ATS and they have an O/U record of 33-47.

This season the Jazz are 20-20 at home and the Mavs are 23-17 on the road.

In their last games the Mavs beat the L.A. Lakers 120-106 and the Jazz beat the Portland Trailblazers 111-105.

The Jazz will not be making the playoffs this season, but they ending the season well and they have won 6 of their last 10 games including a solid win over the Blazers in their last game. They are 8-point home favorite and while the Mavs have won 3 straight they have been a .500 team for a few weeks now.

One of the reasons the Jazz are a 8-point favorite is that it is likely that the Mavs will rest some key players in this game. They are locked into the 7th seed in the Western Conference playoffs where they will face the Spurs or the Clippers in the first round.

The Mavericks have won all 3 games facing the Jazz.

It remains to be seen what Mavs will get some rest tonight, but I would think a few, especially Monta Ellis, Dirk Nowitzki, and Chandler Parsons, who is dealing with an injury as well and is listed as questionable for this game.

The Jazz have the league’s best defense in terms of opponents’ points allowed. They only rank 26th in the league in scoring (95 ppg), but in their win over the Blazers they scored 111 points on 45.6% shooting and that was with Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward not playing.

Trevor Booker and Rodney Hood combined for 57 points in the win over the Blazers

While the Jazz have not shit down the season for Favors and Hayward, who is the leading scorer for the team, Utah said they will be resting him for the last few games and he will mot be getting extended minutes.
