The set-up: Utah got out to a slow start, but it's back on track and I think it carries that momentum over here as well. The Jazz come in off three straight wins over Dallas, Boston and Memphis, while the Mavericks are 3-1 in their last four after besting the lowly Bulls on Monday. Dallas got 11 points from Luka Donic against the Bulls: "Sometimes, he's gonna have bad games," veteran point guard J.J. Barea admitted. "He's still young, and he can't be great every game. So we've got to help him out." Utah's already beaten the Mavs twice this season. This is simply a horrible matchup for the Mavericks and now they face a Utah team that's firing on all cylinders.

The pick: Note that the Jazz have averaged 115 points over the first two meetings. Note as well that the Mavs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home vs. teams with winning road records. Lay the points and expect a rout.
