On the other hand, the Utah Jazz are underdogs in this match. In their last game, they faced the Portland Trail Blazers and won 118-113, with a good game from Collin Sexton, who scored 25 points.

The team has 7 wins and 13 losses so far this season.

The Dallas Mavericks come into this match as favorites. In their last game, they faced the Oklahoma City Thunder and lost 126-120, despite an excellent game from Luka Doncic, who recorded a triple-double of 36 points, 18 assists and 15 rebounds.

So far this season, the team has 11 wins and 8 losses.

The teams have met on 202 occasions.

The advantage goes to the Utah Jazz, who have won 112 games, while the Dallas Mavericks have won 90.

On the other side of the court is the Utah Jazz, 12th in the Western table, where they have a record of seven wins and 13 losses. At least the team coached by Will Hardy has been showing a slight improvement recently, as they have three wins in their last five games and are coming off a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

In their 118-113 win over Portland, the Jazz shot 48.9% overall and 20.6% from three-point range. Their individual highlights were Collin Sexton, responsible for 25 points, four rebounds and five assists, Keyonte George, with 21 points, six rebounds and six basket passes, and John Collins, who helped out with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

The Dallas Mavericks, coached by Jason Kidd, go into their 20th game of the season with a total of 11 wins and eight losses. However, their current form isn't very good, having won just two of their five most recent games, as well as coming off the back of two straight defeats, to the Memphis Grizzlies 108-94 and, more recently, to the Oklahoma City Thunder 126-120.

During the loss to the Thunder, Dallas hit 44.8% of their shots and 36.5% of their three-pointers. Their most outstanding players were Luka Doncic, with a triple-double of 36 points, 15 rebounds and 18 assists, as well as two blocks, Derrick Jones Jr., who contributed 24 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block, and Dereck Lively II, the author of a double-double of 20 points and 16 rebounds, as well as seven blocks.

Kyrie's return should help (a lot) the Mavs' offense, which hasn't performed so well recently. And since the Jazz are averaging 112 points per game, the alternative guess resorts to the over market, where the game will end with more than 225 points on the scoreboard after the final clock runs out.

Even though they're going through a bad patch, the Dallas Mavericks are the most likely to win this match against the Utah Jazz. After all, the team from Texas should have the important return of Kyrie Irving and the Jazz have lost nine of their ten games away from Salt Lake City. As a result, the final score market predicts a Dallas victory.

In an appearance on the latest episode of Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's All The Smoke podcast, aired last Thursday (30), former Dallas Mavericks player Dirk Nowitzki confessed that there were "a lot of doubts" about point guard Luka Doncic as soon as he arrived at the franchise in 2018.

"The end of my career wasn't very good. We (Mavericks) were doing badly. There was some talk of tanking (losing on purpose) going around. We needed a spark to turn things around. I didn't think it was this kid (Doncic)... When he first walked into the training center, he looked like a big guy, but I was like, 'I don't know if it's going to work. Is he fast enough? Is he athletic enough to run into guys like he did in Europe? There were a lot of doubts from everyone on the team," said the German, an NBA champion with the franchise in 2011.

Mavericks: Kyrie Irving: day to day (foot), Josh Green: day to day (elbow), Tim Hardaway Jr.: day to day (back), Maxi Kleber: out (toe), Dante Exum: day to day (personal).

After a series of challenging encounters, the Mavericks enter a stage of the table against teams with lesser ambitions. However, they are now dealing with a wave of injuries. As expected, Slovenian Luka Doncic continues to lead the team in minutes played, points, rebounds, assists and steals.

Meanwhile, the Jazz started the season without high expectations, as they haven't significantly strengthened their roster. The team is still in a gradual process of rebuilding, with Finn Lauri Markkanen standing out as the team's leader in minutes, points, rebounds and steals. However, the supporting cast has not lived up to expectations, especially with players like Jordan Clarkson, John Collins and Walker Kessler.
