Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/14/24

Dallas hopes to end a three-game slide as they visit the Jazz in the only NBA game being played tonight. Who comes out on top? Find out in our Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz predictions. Losing three games in a row by 3, 2 and just 1 point has to be frustrating and the Mavericks fans aren’t too happy right now. Their team is below .500 at 5-6 with just 1 win in 4 attempts on the road this season. Luka Doncic is playing through a groin strain and while he is still putting up numbers, his team is failing in the clutch over and over again. Playing a lesser team like the Jazz is exactly what the Mavs need right now, they beat this team 110-102 in the first meeting of the season a little over two weeks ago. However, Thursday’s game might prove to be a bit more difficult than it should be.

Although Utah is only 2-8 on the season, they’ve actually split their last 2 games, recording wins over the Spurs and Bulls. They just lost by 8 points to the Suns at home, a slow start to that game cost them in the end. They’ll look to learn from that situation,  as their best player Lauri Markkanen is coming into his own slowly, following an injury. He has now scored 20 and 17 in his last 2 games. One edge the Jazz should have here is three-point shooting – they’re knocking down 14.2 per game over their last 5 outings, compared to the Mavs’ 11.8 per game over that stretch.

With 3 straight defeats and just 1 win in their last 5, plus a road record of 1-6 SU in their last 7 games, I’m just not too confident to back the Mavs to win by double digits here. Utah is still searching for their first home win of the season, I’ll take them plus the extra points here.

Mavericks vs Jazz prediction: Utah +9.5 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
