Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks: Prediction for the match of the NBA
In 2022 clubs faced each other six times. First, they upset each other twice in the regular championship and then exchanged victories already in the current series. The clear favorite of the upcoming match, according to the bookmakers, is Utah and we will soon find out if it will justify this status.
Utah Jazz
The Nuggets lost noticeably before the start of the playoffs, so they took the sixth line of the Western Conference not without problems. The team alternated victories with defeats and such tactics obviously do not lead to anything good. Denver went to the Golden State and played two games in a row on the road. Nikola Jokic and the company did not manage to prove themselves from the best side, that is, in two cases the team lost. There is a lot of marriage in the Nuggets game, while you need to get involved in the fight, because even one fight cannot be won at such a pace.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks pleasantly surprised us with their desire to move forward and reach a new level. In the course of the main tournament, the team took the fourth line of the Western Conference, that is, the playoff series began at the home arena of the American Airlines Center. Jason Kidd’s guys failed to win the first meeting, as Utah turned out to be more physically ready (93-99). Of course, Luka Doncic, who is close to returning to the floor, was greatly missed. However, in the second match the Dallas leader did not help its partners. Despite this, the “cowboys” gathered their strength and put the “jazzmen” in their place (110-104). Next in line is an away match at the Vivint Smart Home Arena.
Prediction
Utah looks dismantled, although they won one victory on the road. Jazzmen can do much better, but misunderstandings within the team affect the overall result. Wards of Quin Snyder will take to the floor as a leader, however, they should hardly expect an easy walk. There is a good chance that Luka Doncic will be back in action for the third match of the series and this is a serious improvement. Dallas has shown that it looks no worse than its opponent and in some moments even surpasses it. We assume that the guests are able to survive. Our prediction is for a handicap (+7.5) points for Dallas Mavericks for odds 1.71 in 1xBet bookmaker. In previous matches teams acted more carefully, but now there comes a time when you need to take risks. The Jazz will try to get an important victory at home, but at the same time, the Mavericks are not ready to concede. In a word, we expect an interesting and spectacular confrontation. Second bet is for a total over 205.5 points for 1.55. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.71. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
