NBA Betting Trends

Dallas

The Mavericks are 21-6-2 against the spread in their last 29 road games, but 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a win.

Utah

The Jazz have covered the spread in seven straight home games and in 13 of their last 16 games as a favorite.

Prediction:

These two haven’t met this season. Both teams come in playing well, but the Jazz are really playing at a high level. Utah has really been locked in on both sides of the ball. They are shooting great from 3-point land while defending well. I think Utah being at home should be enough to get past the Mavericks. Dallas certainly has a lot of offensive potential, but the Mavs struggled to score against the Clippers and Nuggets in recent meetings. I would expect more of the same against the Jazz in Utah.

NBA Prediction: Utah Jazz -4
