Jazz at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 114, Jazz 104
Moneyline
Even though the Mavericks are nearly double-digit favorites, I'll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds (-500).
Against the spread
MAVERICKS -9.5 (-115) is the play as the Jazz have struggled with Clarkson and Markkanen sidelined. While Dallas is dealing with injuries of its own, it still has Doncic, who should have plenty of success against Utah's small backcourt.
The Jazz are 3-7 ATS on the road and they've lost 8 of their 10 road games this season by at least 11 points.
Over/Under
UNDER 230.5 (-110) is how I'd bet on the total with the Jazz lacking firepower without Clarkson or Markkanen available. Utah is 25th in offensive rating and it has gone Under in 7 of its last 10 contests.
There have been 226 or fewer points scored in 5 of the last 6 games for the Jazz.
