The good news is their been successfull against the spread. The Mavs have gone 4-1-1 in their last six games.

“We were right there, but ‘right there’ in this league doesn’t get you anywhere,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “You have to find a way to get those big stops. Somebody has to make the big shots so we win those games.”

The Mavericks will be aided by a seemingly rejuvinated Nowitzki, the 2007 MVP is dropping 31.2 points per game in his last nine.

The Jazz will be happy to playing a team of the Mavericks caliber at home, they're just 13-19 ATS on the road but 18-10 in Utah.
