Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Utah Jazz vs. Dallas Mavericks
Friday, January 20, 2017 8:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: -6.0/-103 Utah Jazz
Free Pick on Jazz -
Utah comes into this game having won 4 straight and 9 of 12 overall. I look for the Jazz to carry over that momentum with a comfortable win on the road against the Mavericks. This is not a great spot for Dallas, who will be playing on no rest after last night's 95-99 loss at Miami. Not only are the Mavs in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set, but this is also their 3rd game in 4 nights with the last two both on the road.
Dallas simply doesn't have the talent to hang with a top-level team like the Jazz on tired legs, especially one like Utah, who is so dominant on the defensive end and playing with a full 3 days of rest. The Jazz are 2nd in the NBA in defensive efficiency and allowing just 94.9 ppg. Dallas is 25th in offensive efficiency and are scoring just 95.7 ppg. Utah isn't an elite offensive team, but are moving the ball well right now, as they have scored 100+ in each of their last 4 games. I just don't see the Mavericks being able to keep pace offensively with Utah and that should allow the Jazz to win here by double-digits.
The Jazz are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 as a road favorite and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games against a team with a losing home record. Dallas is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games against a team with a winning road record and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 when their starters combined for 160 or more minutes in their previous game. Take Utah!
