Prediction published on 30/11/2024, 01:59  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 30/11/2024 at 02:02 in NBA Predictions

The Utah Jazz will welcome the Dallas Mavericks in their next NBA fixture. The Jazz are second from bottom in the Western Conference, 6.5 games behind the Mavericks who are eighth. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Will Hardy’s men have managed just four wins in their 18 outings. They lost six times in the last seven fixtures and are just half a game clear from being bottom of the pile in the West.

Currently, on a two-game skid, the Jazz lost 122-103 at home to the Nuggets last time out. John Collins, averaging 17.9 points, is expected back after missing the Nuggets tie. Jordan Clarkson remains sidelined while Lauri Markkanen and Drew Eubanks are questionable.

The Mavericks lost by two points the last time they were in Utah, two weeks ago. That ended a run of three successive wins in this fixture and saw both teams tied at 1-1 in the season series.

The winner here will secure the series 2-1. Dallas are coming into this match in sublime form and will be confident of victory. Jason Kidd’s men have won six of their last seven games and are on a two-match winning run.

They have surprisingly excelled while missing key players including Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson. The Mavs improved to 11-8 after defeating the Knicks 129-114 last time out.
