Point Spread: 1.50 | -105.00 Utah (Away)
Result: Loss
Except for the questionable status of Mike Conley, the Jazz are at full strength. That makes them a better team than the Mavericks.
Dallas has won four in a row. But look at who those victories were against: The Kings by one point on a late 3-point basket. A victory against the 2-7 slumping Lakers and two victories against the slumping 2-8 Warriors.
Before those victories the Mavericks lost, 114-109, as 6 1/2-point road 'dogs to the Jazz. Utah kept Luka Doncic in check while holding Dallas to just 42 points in the second half.
Doncic missed the Mavericks last game with a toe injury. I expect him to play here, but it would be a nice bonus if he didn't. Underrated Dallas guard Jalen Brunson also is a game-time decision due to a foot injury.
