Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz preview

Without Klay Thompson, Jason Kidd will continue to lean more on Naji Marshall to deliver on both ends of the floor. Over the last four games he has started for the Dallas Mavericks, he has averaged 23.0 points on 64.3% shooting. Dallas will be in good shape if Marshall sustains his form.

Kyrie Irving has been spectacular in carrying the Mavericks as Luka Doncic recovers from a wrist sprain. Uncle Drew is expected to lead his team again.

The Utah Jazz must step up defensively to have a chance of beating the Mavericks. They head into the game against Dallas having the worst defensive rating in the NBA. Pulling off an upset against the visitors will be tough if they can’t answer the bell on that end.

Walker Kessler has averaged 10.9 points per game this season. He had 16 on Wednesday in Utah’s 122-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Kessler is in good form and could go over his 8.5 (O/U) points prop.
