Sunday, March 27th finds the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks playing for the fourth and final time this season. Utah leads the season series 2-1 winning 120-116 on December 25th and 114-109 on February 25th. Dallas won 111-103 on March 7th.
These teams sit fourth and fifth in the Western Conference with identical records and while the Jazz holds the early series edge a win by the Mavericks would push them ahead in the standings and even up the season series.
Both clubs last played Friday with Utah falling 101-107 to the Hornets while the Mavericks lost 95-116 to the Timberwolves.
Last season, the teams played three times with the Jazz winning two of the three contests. The Jazz holds the all-time record having bested the Mavericks in 106 of their 182 matches
Utah Jazz
The Western Conference seeding ladder has been separated for much of the season into three groups. What began with two teams (Suns, Warriors) expanded into a trio with the Grizzlies joining them.
At the opposite end of the ladder were the Clippers all in their own little bubble and the three teams underneath vying for the last two play-in seeds (the Lakers, Pelicans, Spurs).
Then the most fascinating segment of the ladder featured four teams who vied for the last home-court seed and all trying to avoid dropping to the seventh seed and being thrust into the play-in tournament.
Those teams include the Jazz, Mavericks, Nuggets, and Wolves and are separated by 2.5 games. Any of them could finish fourth and likewise, any could be forced into the play-in tournament.
For a while, it seemed as if the Jazz would end up in the spot the Grizzlies eventually ascended to but instead battled to deliver constancy in their performances. Last season the Jazz suffered consecutive losses four times and never more than two games in a row.
This season that dynamic has occurred eight times and by streaks of up to five in a row.
Hassan Whiteside (foot) is questionable while Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) and Danuel House Jr. (ankle) were downgraded to out Sunday versus the Mavericks. Udoka Azubuike (ankle) is lost for the season.
Dallas Mavericks
Although the Mavericks were just trying to get off the Kristaps Porzingis contract what ended up happening is the two players they got back in return plugged into the roster as if they were specifically selected as the primary options.
People forgot how well Spencer Dinwiddie played with the Nets before the KD – Kyrie Irving group ascended and switched to a superstar team with a group of underpaid vets and rookies.
Dinwiddie was the key guy who made the Nets fun and scrappy again and that’s the guy who is fitting in perfectly with Luka Doncic and shedding the early season narrative of his game being gone while he got stuck in the Wizards uninventive offense.
Davis Bertans (knee) is probable, Trey Burke (shoulder) is questionable while Sterling Brown (quarantine) was downgraded to out on Sunday. Theo Pinson (finger) and Tim Hardaway Jr.(foot) are out indefinitely.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
The teams have identical 45-29 records but the Mavericks are more in need of this win if they want the chance to get the home-court seed.
That’s because the Jazz already has a 2-1 edge on this series but more importantly, also are the Northwest Division leaders which shocker – still counts for something (breaking ties).
