The Utah Jazz will be away to the Dallas Mavericks seeking their first win of the season. They sit bottom in the West standings while Dallas are eighth. Let’s look at the stats and a prediction as these teams meet for their third match of the campaign.

The Mavericks were beaten in Phoenix last time out and will be eager to get back on track. Jason Kidd’s men, who began the season with a home win against the Spurs, were defeated 114-102 by the Suns.

Dallas, who are averaging 111 points and allowing a similar number to their opponents, have won six successive home ties against Utah. Dante Exum continues to be sidelined while Maxi Kleber is questionable.

The Jazz have lost their opening two matches of the season. In both matches, they allowed over 120 points, and this has left them with the second worst defensive record.

Will Hardy’s men, who are playing on the road for the first time, fell to the Grizzlies and Warriors. Against Memphis, they lost a close battle by two points but facing Golden State, they were blown out by 41.

The Jazz, who have the second-worst offensive average, have Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang questionable for this trip.
