NBA BUBBLE BUSTER "POP" goes the BOOKS

Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Win
Utah won their first game in the bubble, but have lost four of their last five and are sixth place in the West standings. Utah is 2-4 in the Bubble and are coming off a 134-132 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Donovan Mitchell had 35 points and Joe Ingles added 11 points and 13 assists. The Jazz held an 18 point lead at one point in the game.

Dallas is coming off a 136-132 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Luka Doncic led Dallas with 36 points, 19 assists, and 14 rebounds and Dorian Finney-Smith added 27 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists in the win. Doncic has three triple-doubles in five games inside the bubble.

Utah is coming off a double-overtime contest on Saturday against the Nuggets, so fatigue could be an issue. The Jazz have dropped four of their last five games. The Jazz will have to tighten up their defense as they are allowing seven more points inside the bubble than they did during the regular season. Doncic is on a roll and will get the job done.

Play on Dallas.
