Smart Game Analysis
Dallas Mavericks has a 53% chance of winning the game
Despite significant roster absences, the Mavericks have a tactical advantage playing at home with no travel against a fatigued Jazz team on the second night of a back-to-back.
Key Analysis
- • Dallas benefits from a rest advantage having stayed home after yesterday's game, while Utah traveled overnight from Chicago.
- • The Mavericks must rely on rookie standout Cooper Flagg and Klay Thompson to replace the production of the injured Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.
- • Utah's defense is porous, allowing approximately 127 points per game, which provides a scoring opportunity for Dallas's depleted lineup.
- • The availability of Jazz star Lauri Markkanen is the key variable, as his continued absence due to illness would leave Utah without their top scorer.
- • Utah has controlled this matchup recently, winning the last two head-to-head games including a victory just one week ago.
- • Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh enters with high confidence after scoring a career-best 43 points in last night's loss to the Bulls.
