The set-up: These two teams enter off high-scoring OT contests last time out and I think each enters with "heavy legs." The Mavs are two games behind the Jazz and they come off a thrilling 136-132 OT win over the Bucks, while the Jazz actually went two OT's, but they instead fell 134-132 to the Nuggets. From a situational stand point, I absolutely love how this sets up as more of a "defensive affair," rather than a "run and gun shootout."

The pick: Both teams have had less than 40 hours since their last game and I expect that fact to lead to extreme fatigue from both sides. This is a great situational play on the under.

This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Mavericks/Jazz.
