The current betting odds have the Mavericks listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mavericks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 5-6 record overall, but it is still really early in the season and they are trying to find their way with some new players acquired in the off-season. Klay Thompson has been a nice addition to the team, but they need to get themselves back on track now. They have lost 3 games in a row while playing a tougher stretch of schedule, but they are going to be looking to bounce back here by beating up on one of the worst teams in the NBA right now. Meanwhile, the Jazz have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the West with one of the worst records in the entire NBA. They are coming off another loss in their last one, losing to the Suns at home in the NBA In-Season Tournament, and they have looked terrible on their home court with their 0-5 home record. The Jazz have been struggling all season and they were one of the worst teams in the NBA last season too. The Mavericks went to the Finals last season and even though they are off to a slower start, this is a great game for them to bounce back with a much needed win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.

"Again on the road, we put ourselves in a position to win, and in the last two minutes, we have to get better. The last three games, the last two minutes, we can't turn the ball over. We got to rebound the ball, giving up 18 offensive rebounds.” - Jason Kidd after his team’s loss against the Warriors in their game on Tuesday.

“I think overall there was more good than bad. The game was decided in the first quarter, they came out with an energy and physicality that we didn’t. It just put us behind the curve. Our team stuck with it and continued to fight and compete." - Will Hardy after his team’s loss against the Suns in their game on Tuesday.
