Playoffs Round 1: Jazz Mavericks Predictions And NBA Odds

The Jazz Mavericks Predictions And NBA Odds platforms are divided over the outcome of the Playoffs Round 1 game between Jazz and Mavericks.
However, Dallas Mavericks will have home advantage in this game.

The postseason thrill is expected to reach its peak when the Utah Jazz meets the Dallas Mavericks for the first round of playoffs on Saturday afternoon.

Quin Snyder’s men lacked consistency in the last 10 games. However, they managed to end the regular season on a positive note with a thumping victory over the Trail Blazers. The Jazz needs to be careful of not choking in the final minutes as they have lost many games after taking a big lead.

The Dallas Mavericks must be feeling good to start the playoffs at their home arena of the Americans Airlines Center. They have played very well in the home games this season. The Mavericks are looking in good form as they ended the regular season with a winning streak of 4 games.

Despite having some of the key points in their favor, the Mavericks faced a major setback by the injury of their No.1 pick, Luka Doncic in the regular-season finale. Doncic suffered a calf strain and his status for the all-important playoff game is not clear. Donovan Mitchell is expected to return to the Jazz squad after missing the last game due to illness.
