Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Regular Season Record: 25-24
The Dallas Mavericks have had a few weeks to forget: they won just two of their last ten games, in which they have been effective offensively but have suffered a lot on defense, allowing more than 110 points in each of those losses. To be true, that’s quite worrisome considering that their defense has been their main weapon this campaign.
Playing a third consecutive game in a row on the road is not positive at all for the Mavs. On the contrary, it actually darkens their outlook, as they have seen their biggest problems come away from home, where they have a record of 8 wins and 15 losses and average 108.6 points scored per game.
That poor offensive performance is a big disappointment, given that the Mavericks rely on Luka Dončić, the NBA’s offensive leader with an average of 33.8 points scored per game. In addition, he is also the team leader in assists (8.6), rebounds (9.1), and steals per commitment (1.5).
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 25-26
The Utah Jazz have managed to bounce back a bit in recent weeks after finishing the year terribly: they won three of their last eight games, which put them just one win away from getting their record back to .500, something vital in order to stay firmly in contention for playoff spots.
Will Hardy’s team will enter this game on a mission to bounce back after losing by 124-134 in the last game against the Portland Trail Blazers.In the game, they were destroyed by Damian Lillard, who scored 60 points, while the Jazz had up to seven players with at least 10 points.
Being at the Vivint Arena will give the Jazz a lot of hope of being able to achieve their goals, given that it is at home where they have displayed their best version, with a 16-9 record and a great offensive average of 120.0 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Jazz have been one of the best teams in the league offensively all campaign, so they are fully capable of taking advantage of recent defensive lapses that have given the Mavericks trouble.
Even so, this will not be an easy game for the home team, since it is also one of the worst teams in terms of defense, and they will surely suffer a lot against the Mavericks’ offense led by an inspired Luka Dončić, who scored 33 points the last time these teams met.
With the Mavericks and the Jazz being very offensive teams, but with very vulnerable defenses, we expect this to be a very entertaining game from start to finish with a lot of points on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Over.
