You hear that? It's smooth Jazz in downtown Dallas
Mavs are 39-25
Jazz are 40-25
Both teams are 8-2 in their last 10.
Jazz won last night in OKC so they're on 2NB2B
Only 1.5 games separate the two teams in the standings. If the Mavs can win, they will cut it to 0.5 games. A loss would drop us 2.5 games back with only 17 games. If the Mavs want HCA, this would be a good game to win.
Luka - sore toe - probable
JB - bruised foot - questionable
Kleber- sprained ankle - questionable
THJ - broken foot - out
Chriss - knee sprain - out
Pinson - finger - out
Jazz have no injuries listed

Mavs w/four straight wins (Tied w/MIL & MIN for longest active win streak in
@NBA), with a showdown tonight vs Utah. Both teams 10-2 in their last 12. Mavs looking to make amends for 4 and 5 pt losses in SLC.
The 2 games w/Utah have been decidedly different. Christmas game was a foul fest w/55 fouls called/72FTA. The game ten days ago saw just 35 fouls/30 FTA. Mavs were 30-35 FT in 1st game 8-8 in 2nd (1-1 in 2nd half).
The officials tonight: James Capers, Michael Smith & Aaron Smith
A win tonight would put the Mavericks 15 games over 500 for the first time since the 2015 season when they went 50-32.

It's bonkers that the Mavs
Started +5
Then dropped games until they were -2
And are now +14 again
If we didn't have that stretch where we dropped 7 games in the standings, we'd be second place and 1 game behind the Suns for best in the west.

Hard to believe that the Mavs are 4-15 over the last 19 games against Utah. Time for them to change that trajectory!

Sounds like Brunson is out, which is a bummer.
BUT, it sounds like Gobert will at least be limited, if not rested on a B2B with calf soreness in the same calf he strained and missed 9 games for prior to the ASB.
I wouldn't mind if Gobert rested...

One of these games the Mavs are going to stop the Jazz shooters
Slowing the Jazz shooters
Utah is one of the best teams in the league in terms of three point shooting. They are seventh in percentage and two in both attempts per game and makes per game. The hot shooting from Dallas in the last game somewhat masked the Jazz shooting, as they connected on 42% of their distance attempts while a couple of their best shooters couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
The Mavericks tried a bit of everything defensively against Utah and none of it worked for sustained periods. The zone defense Dallas plays now and then might get eaten alive by this kind of team shooting.

Luka has to learn to stop being stubborn and wasting possessions cause he hates Gobert

dinwiddie actually gets some calls - even ones that maybe he clearly shouldn't. nice to have someone who gets some benefit of the doubt in those cases.

He’s gonna be the reason the Mavs finally win a series this season. He’s a go get a bucket guy. Other than Luka, we have another. Brunson to a lesser extent

Maxi is short all night.
Also laugh at the officials. Even Mitchell knew that was off of him.

Yeah he's even worse when they run him off the 3 point line then he tries up that garbage pull up midrange which looks awkward.
Kleber is a streaky MF

Dude has no range. A little more arc would go a long way especially since he doesn’t have much lift in his jump

Wish Luka could sometimes react like Mitchell. Very possibly got fouled by Luka then bumped him on a rebound. Just jogged back
