Dallas Mavericks – Statistics & current form

Luka Doncic recently enjoyed Player of the Month honours in the Western Conference. He succeeds reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, who earned this nomination in January. Looking at the Slovenian’s recent performances, it quickly becomes clear that the Don is performing at MVP level.

Mainly thanks to his very good form, the guests have also recently won four league games in a row. They have also defeated heavyweights like the Warriors twice. Head Coach Jason Kidd, however, now has to fear for Doncic’s commitment as he has suffered a toe injury.

Utah Jazz – Statistics & current form

In Salt Lake City, like their opponents, things have also been very successful recently. While they don’t have Luka Doncic at their disposal, they do have a prolific shooter in Donovan Mitchell, who, like the Slovenian, has also been named the Western Conference’s best monthly player once this season in December.

The guard also received an All-Star call-up for the third time in a row this season and rightly so: “Spida” is averaging 25.9 points this season and is even more reliable away from home than he is at home.

The average scoring value of 26.8 is 1.6 points higher than his output in the games in Utah. In addition, the Texans suit him: In the two duels so far this season, Mitchell has scored 33 points, the best total of any player on the court!

Dallas Mavericks – Utah Jazz tip

For the duel between the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz, betting on more than 107.5 points by the visitors seems promising. No franchise in the NBA scores more points on 100 possessions than the team from Utah with 115.9 and the selected limit of points has not been exceeded in only two of the past ten games.

In addition, the Texans are anxious about the deployment of Luka Doncic and parallel of Maxi Kleber. The latter German will be missed especially in the defence. This can be seen from the fact that the two most recent opponents from San Francisco and Sacramento both scored 113 points.

On top of that, the Jazz won the head-to-head clash against the Mavs just a fortnight ago, recording 114 points in the encounter. It was the second win in the second duel of the season for Snyder’s troops and in the first comparison at the end of December last year, the two-time runner-up even scored 120 points.
