SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz open a three-game homestand tonight with the Dallas Mavericks in town.
Despite winning four of their last seven games, the Jazz sit in the bottom third of the Western Conference with a 9-15 overall record. Dallas comes in at the 10th seed with a 10-16 mark.
Keyonte George comes into the contest fresh off a career-high 39-point performance on Friday against the Grizzlies. However, the biggest storyline might just be Cooper Flagg versus Ace Bailey, the first time the No. 1 overall pick will face off against the No. 5 pick in year one.

First Quarter
First bucket of Ace vs. Flagg is Bailey missing a pull-up and throwing down a putback off his own miss. That was crazy.

Ace Bailey and Cooper Flagg exchange buckets to open this game.
Already a better showing from both players than their lone preseason matchup.
