On December 16th from 3:00 a.m. German time, the Utah Jazz will host the Dallas Mavericks. The duel is eagerly awaited, as both teams are almost on equal footing according to the NBA standings. However, the guests from Dallas are slight favorites. They won many of their away games and also the majority of the direct duels against the Jazz.
Coach Will Hardy’s team currently has another problem. Some of his players are out and that creates difficulties with the rotation: Jusuf Nurkic, Georges Niang and Walker Kessler cannot be on the floor. Although the Mavericks are also struggling with personnel problems, the team structure makes this easier to overcome.
Kyrie Irving, D’Angelo Russell, Dereck Lively and Dante Exum definitely won’t play, Daniel Gafford and Anthony Davis are questionable. Coach Jason Kidd can compensate for this well because he has enough experienced players who can take on longer playing times.
