The Dallas Mavericks (14-23) are off to Utah in the second leg of their three-game road trip on Thursday at the Delta Center. The Jazz (12-24) played an overtime game on Wednesday in Oklahoma City and lost, extending their current losing skid to five games. The story with the Mavericks right now is a potential trade of Anthony Davis, but Davis is playing and has helped the Mavericks win two games in a row. This is a great matchup for either team’s leading scorer, Davis for Dallas and Keyonte George for Utah. The Mavericks will need to overcome their offensive woes if they want to take advantage of tired legs from the Jazz and eek out just their fifth road win this season.

Odds via the Fanduel Sportsbook as of 12:30PM CST

Spread: Dallas -6.5 (-108)

Over/Under: 240.5 (-110/-110)

Keyonte George over 25.5 points (-120)

Anthony Davis over 38.5 points + rebounds (-114)

As I mentioned, these two guys have excellent matchups. Without Walker Kessler, the Jazz are weak inside on defense and Davis should be able to get what he wants. He did not play in these teams’ first matchup, but historically he has dominated the matchup with Lauri Markkanen, averaging 27.4 points and 14.2 rebounds in their last five matchups.

George is the kind of guard that kills Dallas, and has been on a tear this season. He had 37 against the Mavericks earlier this year, and has put up over 28 points a night at home since December 1.

Under 240.5 points (-110)

These plays are simple. The Mavericks do not blow people out, and given that the Jazz are on a back-to-back, this will be an easy under. The ceiling for the Mavericks tonight is winning 115-111, but I could see Dallas dropping this game outright. The best day to play after a tough loss is the next day, and Utah has what it takes to right the wrongs from a night ago at home. Thursday’s game could get ugly on offense, and this is a spot where the Mavericks traditionally disappoint.
