The Mavericks are coming into this game with a 45-29 record overall and they are 25-12 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. Their 2 wins in that span were against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets while their loss came against the Timberwolves in their last game.

The Mavericks have an ATS record of 41-32-1 this season and their O/U record is 25-47-2.

 

 

The Mavericks are coming into this game off of a loss in their last game and that was a very bad loss for them as they lost by close to 20 points on the road. They are back at home for this game and they will be hungry to bounce back here after that game that they just got smashed in. They were playing well with 2 straight wins prior to that loss but they are going up against a Jazz team that has been struggling in their recent games. The Jazz are coming into this game after losing 3 straight and they were a lot closer in their last game but, their 2 losses prior to that one were by a lot of points. They have not been playing well for a little while now and the Mavericks have at least been winning games recently and against some good teams as well. The Mavericks will bounce back in this game and take advantage of a Jazz team that is not playing well right now. The Mavericks should win this game at home by single digits over the Jazz.
