Mavs Defense Shines in Recent Games: Can They Keep It Up Against the Jazz?

The Mavs can defend! This is probably one of the biggest surprises of the last few weeks and should also be relevant again for our Jazz vs. Mavericks tip for Tuesday night. Especially since both teams are meeting each other for the second time in four days.

The Mavs have even had a break since then, whereas the Jazz had to play in Houston over the weekend – and got a big slap. They should be able to keep up a little better at home, but a win remains unlikely.

Because in addition to the new defense, the Mavs are currently difficult to predict offensively. At the last duel a few days ago, they even set a new franchise record with 18 dunks. They are no longer just the team that shoots threes.

In this respect, our prediction for Utah vs. Dallas is another Mavs success, although the amount is extremely difficult to predict. After all, Dallas won three of the last four games by just seven points or less.

Utah Jazz – Statistics & Current Form

The season is over for the Utah Jazz, because they are seven wins behind the last play-in spot with only eleven games left to play and can no longer catch up. The Jazz can now experiment with this for the new season.

However, that didn’t work so well recently and they lost five games in a row, most of them quite clearly. The fact that they are now facing a hot Mavs team certainly doesn’t help either, although in contrast to the last duel four days ago they at least have home advantage.

The question that arises is: could it be a closer match than most experts are predicting? The line is currently 8-9 points ahead in favor of Dallas, and it is not necessarily inevitable that the Jazz will lose again by more than ten points.

On the one hand, Dallas tends to almost give up games every now and then, On the other hand, the Jazz probably learned from the last meeting, where they allowed a whopping 18 dunks– more than any other team in the last 20 years.

Jazz need to be more present under the basket

We also expect that they will react to this and deliver better under the basket. After all, with an average of 46.0, they also get 3.6 more rebounds per game than the Mavs. So dominance under the basket shouldn’t happen again on Monday.

All in all, the Jazz could defend the Mavs better, which can also have an impact on the total points. We don’t trust them to do much offensively, which is why the odds of under 233 total points for Utah vs. Dallas are our clear betting recommendation here.

Key Players:

PG: Colin Sexton
SG: Keyonte George
SF: Taylor Hendricks
PF: Lauri Markkanen

Dallas Mavericks – Statistics & Current Form

The Dallas Mavericks can be a threat to any team in the league if they continue to stabilize their defense like this. Because they have already proven often enough that they are a force offensively with Irving and Doncic.

But in their last six games they have also been significantly improved defensively. They allowed an average of just 104.3 points in those six games, which is a really good value. If they manage to do this again on Monday, then under-point bets are a must bet.

Winning over excelling

The Mavs simply realized that simple basketball is usually and in the long run more successful than hara-kiri basketball. So they won many of their last games by only a few points, but at least they won this one.

At the start of the season they lost almost every close game. Of course, their defense is responsible for this, as it has improved so much thanks to two new signings. The two big men Gafford and Wahington were accordingly paid dearly at the trade deadline.

Tips on Gafford and sub-points possible

Their more consistent defense now turns under-pointers in Mavs games into winning guarantors. However, we have another bet in mind that seems interesting, especially given the last duel a few days ago.

Gafford scored an impressive 24 points against Utah. In general, the big man is increasingly sought after by Doncic and Irving, which increases his point output. For Jazz vs. Mavs, Gafford’s odds of over 13.5 points are also recommended as a tip.

Key Players:

PG: Luca Doncic
SG: Kyrie Irving
SF: Josh Green
PF: P.J. Washington
C: Derek Lively II

Handicap bets for Dallas are also possible, but since the game takes place in Utah, there is a little more risk involved. After all, the Jazz still have a positive 20:15 record at home. They won eleven more games in front of the home fans than away from home.

Therefore, a tip under 233 total points is preferred for Utah vs. Dallas. This number can of course also be combined with a win tip on the Mavericks to increase the value.
