The Utah Jazz (6-2) square off against the Dallas Mavericks (3-3) on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Jazz continue to be 1 of the most surprising teams in the NBA and they are currently on a 2-game winning streak, with both wins over the Memphis Grizzlies. Utah is likely ecstatic with the early production they’ve gotten from F Lauri Markkanen as he’s averaging 22.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1 block per game on 50.7% shooting from the field.
The Mavericks secured a 114-105 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday as they pushed as 9-point favorites at home. There’s no doubt that G Luka Doncic is firmly in the MVP race as he’s posting 36.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game on 50.3% shooting from the field.

Jazz at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 115, Jazz 107
Moneyline
With the Mavericks favored at home, just AVOID the moneyline in this game. The current odds for Dallas to win aren’t worth taking straight up as Utah has shown they can compete with some of the best teams in the NBA.
Against the spread
MAVERICKS -6 (-112) is where I’m leaning as the Jazz have to slow down at some point, right? Doncic is almost guaranteed to post a near triple-double every night, Dallas just needs some of its role players to step up to cover the spread.
The Jazz are 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings against the Mavericks and they are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Dallas.
The Mavericks own the best offensive rating while the Jazz have the 15th-best offensive rating in the NBA thus far. With the success these offenses have had to begin the season, OVER 221.5 (-112) is an enticing bet in this game.
The Mavericks have hit the Over in 5 straight games this season.
