Utah at Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks are a bad team at 20-32 on the season. Over the course of a long 82 game schedule even the bad teams have their moments, although often brief and unsustainable. Dallas had their moment with a successful 9-3 run, but it appears to have ended abruptly with two straight losses against some marginal teams. Utah comes in as a very strong defensive team, but also one that is playing sensational on the offensive end. The Jazz have averaged 114 points per game over their last four, and perhaps more impressive than that is they held all four of those opponents to under 100 points. The line is held down with the appearance that Dallas has found something, but the truth is that they lost it again. Make the play on Utah.
