The Utah Jazz are 21-10 at home and very good. They are coming off a rare loss prior to the All-Star Break and I expect them to bounce back with a big home win on Friday night.


The Utah Jazz have covered the spread in 5 out of the last six overall and in each of the last five played on their home court. Utah dominates the glass, out rebounding opponents by an average of 46.1 to 42.1 rebounds per game. Utah's Rudy Gobert is leading the NBA in rebounding with an average of 14.8 rebounds per game and is strong inside with blocks.

The Utah Jazz are third in the NBA in scoring with an average of 114 points per game. The Jazz have the third best field goal percentage at 47.3% and are sixth in 3-point shooting accuracy at 36.1%.

Dallas has a strong defense, which is second-best in points allowed in the NBA but the Mavericks struggle offensively, averaging 106 points per game which is 25th in the league. Dallas is playing without its fourth leading scorer Tim Hardaway Jr and traded away its second leading scorer Kristaps Porzingis, who averaged 19.2 points per game in 34 games with the Mavericks.
We like the Jazz at home as I expect Donavan Mitchell is have a big game tonight and Bojan Bogdanovic is the second leading scorer with an average of 18 points per game and is shooting 45.5%. Take the UTAH JAZZ tonight!
