No break in the schedule lately for the hard-luck Mavs, who might be looking to take out their frustrations tonight. Unfortunately for the Jazz, they're the team in the way. It's unlikely the Mavs overlook Utah after absorbing a 37-point loss at the Delta Center last season. That was a motivated Jazz that had lost by 50 in the first meeting, but in matchups 3 and 4, it was all-Dallas again in double-digit triumphs, either of which would be good enough to cover tonight's price. The Mavs are kicking themselves for letting a late 7-point lead slip away vs. the Warriors on Wednesday, a result wholly due to Steph Curry's magic. True, Luka Doncic is dealing with some knee soreness, but is expected available tonight, and he did score 31 on Wednesday. Dallas losses on the spin have come in gnawing fashion vs. the Suns, Nuggets, and Warriors by a combined six points. Utah represents a step down and a chance to get well. Play Mavs
