The Mavericks and the Jazz go head to head at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Saturday 7 November (12:00pm AEDT). Here’s who we’re backing in our Mavericks vs Jazz prediction, plus the odds worth a look.
The Mavs look to snap a two-game skid againat the Jazz on Saturday after dropping back to back games to the Kings and Spurs.
This could be something of a revenge game for Dusty May’s side after Victor Wembanyama dropped 52 points and collected 24 rebounds on Thursday, and there’s every chance it’s high scoring with Cooper Flagg and Keyonte George both putting up big numbers to start the year.
Defensively though, the Mavs have been a difficult team to shoot against, allowing one of the lowest three-point percentages to opponents in the league.
The Jazz fell in overtime to the Pelicans on Thursday, but they’ll likely have a tougher time collecting buckets around the rim and finding open space against this Mavs outfit.
- Prediction: Mavericks to Cover & Under the Points Total
Player Pick
Cooper Flagg is averaging over 24 points and six rebounds a game to start the season, and he’s facing another favourable matchup against a Jazz side that just allowed Dejounte Murray to put up 20 points and eight rebounds.
Utah ranks fourth in the league in rebounds allowed to opponents. They’ve also been awful at defending around the rim. With the Mavs looking to bounce back, I think Flagg leads the charge.
