Mavericks vs Jazz tips off at 12:00pm AEDT on Saturday 7 November at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Here’s our prediction, plus the best odds at Ladbrokes.
Dallas will look to end a two-game losing streak when it takes on Utah on Saturday, after dropping consecutive games to the Kings and Spurs.
This could be a chance for Dusty May’s side to respond after Victor Wembanyama put up 52 points and 24 rebounds on Thursday. With Cooper Flagg and Keyonte George both scoring well to start the season, there could be plenty of points in this one.
Defensively, though, Dallas has been tough to shoot against, allowing one of the lowest three-point percentages in the league.
Utah lost in overtime to the Pelicans on Thursday, and the Jazz could find it tougher to score around the rim or create open looks against the Mavericks.
PREDICTION: Mavericks to Cover & Under the Points Total
PLAYER PICK
Cooper Flagg is averaging more than 24 points and six rebounds per game to start the season, and he has another favourable matchup against a Jazz team that just allowed Dejounte Murray to finish with 20 points and eight rebounds.
Utah ranks fourth in rebounds allowed and has also struggled to defend around the rim. With Dallas looking to bounce back, Flagg could lead the way.
PREDICTION: Cooper Flagg Over Points + Rebounds Total
