Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction 3-25-24 Picks

The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz meet Monday in the NBA action at the Delta Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Mavericks vs Jazz prediction.

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks have been in red-hot form as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after routing the Jazz in a 113-97 win on Thursday. Luka Doncic led the team with 34 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals, Daniel Gafford added 24 points with seven rebounds and five assists while Kyrie Irving tallied 16 points with five rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Mavericks shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line, but this win was set up with their defense as they were always in control after limiting the Jazz to just 15 points in the second quarter. The Mavericks will take on the Kings in a back-to-back set after this one.

Utah Jazz

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a sixth straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Rockets in a 147-119 road loss on Saturday. John Collins led the team with 25 points on seven of nine shooting, Collin Sexton added 20 points with eight assists while Keyonte George chipped in with 15 points and five assists. As a team, the Jazz shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 37 from the 3-point line, but they were horrible on the defensive end and were never in the contest after dominating the first half by 85-55 in the first half.

Mavericks vs Jazz prediction

The Mavericks are still shorthanded with Josh Green ruled out and Maxi Kleber listed as questionable, while the Jazz are keeping eyes on Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen who are both questionable. The Mavericks come into this meeting as one of the hottest teams in the league right now, they have all their key players healthy and they should be well-rested as they haven’t played since Thursday, so I’m going with the Mavericks all day in this spot.
