Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview

As the Utah Jazz face off against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, the odds are heavily tilted in favor of the Mavericks, who are playing at their home base, the American Airlines Center. Currently sitting at a 1-1 record, Dallas is looking to bounce back from a recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, 114-102. The Jazz, meanwhile, are still seeking their first win after opening the season 0-2, their most recent defeat a lopsided 127-86 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Dallas enters as massive favorites according to the betting odds. The Mavericks are laying 10.5 points on the spread, and their moneyline sits at -560, suggesting an 82% implied probability of victory. In contrast, Utah’s moneyline at +440 gives them just an 18% chance to secure a win.

Despite these long odds, the Jazz have had three days of rest since their last game, potentially giving them a recuperative advantage against a Mavericks squad that played just two days ago. This extended downtime could help Utah keep the game competitive, or even pull off an upset.

One player to watch closely is Kyrie Irving of the Mavericks. Bettors are showing interest in his Points, Rebounds, and Assists (PRA) prop, which has been a hot market leading up to the game. Originally set at Over 29.5 PRA, the line has moved to 30.5, with odds of -115. This indicates sharp money is backing Irving to deliver a strong all-around performance.

The game tips off at 8:30 PM ET and promises an intriguing matchup, especially for those with a stake in the betting markets. While the Mavericks are the expected victors, the Jazz’s extra rest and Irving’s performance could make this a closer game than the odds suggest.
