Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Prediction: Will the home team be able to improve their stats?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Mavericks had problems at the beginning of the championship when the team won more. But gradually, they began to realize those deficiencies. We are talking about the Mavs' failures on their half-court offense. Dallas is only 22nd in scoring defense, allowing 118.0 points per game on average.

Another confirmation of the game imbalance is the previous matchup, in which Dallas hosted Oklahoma on their court. Kyrie Irving didn't play, but Jason Kidd's team still scored 120 points, thanks to Luka Doncic's triple-double of 36 points, 15 rebounds and 18 assists. But the Mavericks still lost 120:126. The Texans are now 11-8. The team is in fifth place in the West, but they will fall lower if they continue to defend poorly.

If Dallas is seen as a contender in the Western Conference, no one expects big things from Utah. The Jazz are not achieving them, sitting only 12th in the conference with a 7-13 record.

Utah's win total could be worse, but the team has won three of their last five games - twice the Jazzmen beat tough New Orleans (105:100 and 114:112) and outplayed Portland 118:113 (106:106) in overtime.

The participation of two key players from Utah, Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson, in the upcoming match, is in question. Still, whatever the case, Dallas's defense is not trustworthy. The total offered for the upcoming meeting looks quite breakable. Accordingly, we choose the total over here.
