Our Betting Pick for Today

Betting on the game! (Mavs -7)

I will be riding with the Dallas Mavericks. I believe they are the better offensive team in this game. Lauri Markkanen could be out for the Jazz in this game. I see this as a huge loss on the offensive side of the court. Utah's team shooting percentage is only 16th and their three-point shooting percentage is 18th, respectively. This will make it difficult for them to score efficiently throughout the game. The Mavericks will gradually pull away and the Jazz will have difficulty scoring on the road. They won't be slowing down Kyrie and Luka, who has struggled on the defensive end of the court. Their backcourt is one of the most talented in the NBA, and I can see them scoring consistently throughout the game. Dallas has the ninth-highest three-point shooting percentage and the seventh-highest adjusted offensive rating. They can score anywhere on the court, and they will cover the spread at their home.

The previous three matchups makes me lean betting under this number.
