Dallas is getting into dire straits at 0-3. This is a circle-the-wagons game for the Mavericks and they catch the Jazz in a letdown spot.
Utah came in with its "A" game and upset the Spurs, 106-91, as a 9 1/2-point road 'dog last night. I doubt the Jazz can put together consecutive games like that in back-to-back days relying on over-the-hill veteran Joe Johnson. He and George Hill logged big minutes in that victory. The Jazz are without leading scorer, small forward Gordon Hayward, and their backcourt depth is down minus Alec Burks.
Dallas has covered 11 of its last 15 road games going back to last season. This is what Wesley Matthews was quoted as saying about tonight's game: "We can't slip anymore. Whatever the hell it takes, that's what we've got to do."
The Mavericks should have Dirk Nowitzki back for the first time since their opening game. Dallas is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 meetings versus the Jazz, including 4-1 ATS in Salt Lake City.
