Flagg, Mavericks take on the Jazz

Both teams have losing Western Conference records and face multiple injuries as they compete to improve standings in this key NBA matchup.

  • Monday's Western Conference matchup pairs the 10-16 Dallas Mavericks with the 9-15 Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City at 9 p.m. EST, both teams holding losing records.
  • Injuries have reshaped rotations, with Walker Kessler and Georges Niang out for Utah and Dereck Lively II, Dante Exum, plus Kyrie Irving out for Dallas.
  • The Mavericks' strengths include balanced scoring, averaging 115.0 points and shooting 47.9%, with role contributions, while Utah averages 116.3 points with Keyonte George at 22.9 points and 6.8 assists.
  • Given the disparity in opponents' scoring, stopping transition buckets will be decisive, as Utah allows 127.2 points while Dallas's opponents average 114.3, and Utah's 45.5% shooting compares with Dallas allowing 46.1%.
  • The Jazz's offensive ranking and recent individual hot streaks frame the matchup's stakes, with the Jazz seventh in scoring at 118.1 points and Lauri Markkanen averaging 26.0 points over the last 10 games, The Associated Press noted using Data Skrive and Sportradar data.
