LiontipsUtah vs Dallas. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Jazzmen tried to put up a fight for the top spot of the Western Conference, but so far they are unable to catch up to Phoenix and Golden State. Quin Snyder's men are starting to gain form after two consecutive defeats.
Utah managed to beat Charlotte at home (112:102) and in the most recent match team recorded a confident victory over Minnesota (128:116). Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert put up a great performance, scoring 48 points combined. Jazz will try to extend their winning streak, plus visitors will play with a weakened squad.
Mavericks dropped from the play-off zone, but it seems like team got used to inconsistency. Jason Kidd's men are losing way too many games and it is important to gain form.
Dallas hosted the reigning champion in the previous match, but too many players were unavailable for the game, so team suffered a 95:102 defeat to Milwaukee. Now seven players are on team's injuried list, including Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway. In the next match team will play against one of the leaders of the Western Conference, so it is hard to expect a victory from the visitors.

Tip and bets
Dallas will play without a number of key players, so team will be an underdog in this match. Mavericks will try to put up a fight, but it will be difficult to record a victory in Salt Lake City.
Utah is still trying to catch up to Golden State and Phoenix. Quin Snyder's men recorded two consecutive victories and they will try to do everything to extend that streak. In our opinion, hosts will be able to get advantage out of opponent's problems.
Our prediction - Handicap (-10) points on Utah Jazz
We don't think that we will see a high-scoring game, because too many Mavs' players are unavailable to play, so they will probably take a defensive approach. In this case, we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 220 points
