Dallas Mavericks Team News
The Mavs were real kryptonite for the Jazz last season, and last year they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. This season, the Mavs are not playing that well and consistently and are almost 3-3! Although the Mavs are not playing that well, Luka Dnočić plays as if in a trance, which especially pleases the Mavericks fans. His offensive numbers are brutal. In the last match, he scored 44 points for the Magic. This season, he did not score less than 30 points in any match.
This season, the Mavs were without one of the very important players in both directions, Jalen Brunson, who left for the Knicks. However, the Mavs brought two reinforcements under the basket. Christian Wood arrived from the Rockets, who will bring special width in both directions for the Mavericks.
A big problem for Dallas this season is the performance of the support staff, first of all, we think of Dinwiddie, Hardavay Jr, and the role of Dwight Powell, who works perfectly in the 2-on-2 game with Luka Dončić.
Utah Jazz Team News
One thing is for sure, Danny Ainge knows what he’s doing. After doing a great job with the Celtics as GM, it’s time for him to take the Jazz to the next level. This summer, he gave up two key players in Gobert and Mitchell, as well as coach Snyder. And when everyone expected the Jazz to start rebuilding, they are doing the exact opposite and are one of the biggest surprises of the entire league.
The team’s new coach is Will Hardy, a former Celtics assistant. In the trades for Mitchell and Gobert, he got young players that he will try to fit into the system, namely Lauri Markkanen and Colin Sexton. These two proved to be the right choice and, together with Jordan Clarkson, cause big problems for all opposing teams. Markkanen plays as if in a trance and is one of the main candidates for the MIP.
This season, Utah decided on an attacking style of play and a lot of points. In their composition, they have all the players who can score from a distance. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hardy brought one of the best three-point shooters from the center position, Kelly Olyinik, to his team.
Utah has shown what it can do, there will be ups and downs, but we believe that soon this team will be a serious contender in the West.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz Prediction
Bertans and Ntilkina will not be in the Mavs lineup. While Bolmaro, Fontecchio, and Rudy Gay will not be there for the Jazz, Kessler is a questionable.
This game is very close, especially when we consider the forms of both teams. However, we think that Dallas is a better team and that Dončić will make a difference in this match as well, but he will also have the help of his teammates. What is particularly important in this match is that Utah looks like a team that matches the Mavs in terms of style. Dončić is too big for Sexton and the team, and he scores easily when he comes down on the PG.
