The Dallas Mavericks enter this contest coming off a 114-105 win over the Orlando Magic at home. They’re 3-2-1 against the spread so far this season.
Utah Jazz
Raise your hand if you saw this coming.
(Put it down, liar.)
The Jazz are shocking the NBA. We’re only about 10 percent of the way through the schedule but Utah is a top-three team in the Western Conference alongside the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers. And they look like they deserve it. As in, this might not be an entire fluke.
On the year, the Jazz are scoring 117.5 points per game. That number is good enough for 10th in the NBA as of this writing on Tuesday night. In terms of Offensive Efficiency, the team slips to 15th averaging 110.2 points per 100 possessions, but the team makes up the difference on defense.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, the Jazz are giving up 107.9 points per 100 possessions, putting them in the No. 9 spot.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas has made a habit of alternating wins this season. In fact, that’s all it’s done. Win, lose, win, lose…this team hasn’t won or lost more than one game in a row all year.
Coming off a win, the Mavericks are averaging 117.8 points per game. That number is good enough for sixth in the NBA.
When looking at advanced stats, Dallas jumps up to third in Offensive Efficiency, averaging 115.5 points per 100 possessions. This shouldn’t be surprising with Luka Doncic and his league-leading 36.7 points per contest.
Defensively, the Mavs give up 110.5 points per contest. That number puts them in a three-way tie with the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 8 spot in the NBA.
In terms of advanced stats, Dallas gives up 109.6 points per 100 possessions. That number drops the team down to 16th.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
We’ve hit a weird dystopia where it feels wrong, if unnatural to pick against the Jazz. How did we get here?
For starters, Lauri Markkanen is having a career year posting 22.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game while shooting better than 50 percent from the field despite knocking down just 31.6 percent of his three-pointers. Jordan Clarkson also continues to look the part of volume shooter and microwave scorer.
Picking the Jazz against the spread feels right here…even if I can’t get myself to take Utah again straight up.
This should be a tightly contested game. If that +182 moneyline is calling you, I won’t blame you. But I’m picking the Mavs straight up despite another Jazz success against the spread.
Mavs win at home in dramatic fashion.
