The Jazz didn't need to extend themselves to destroy the Magic on Saturday, so they'll be fresh for this Western Conference showdown. Utah handled Dallas fairly easily in two home meetings in January, winning by 12 and 19 points. The Mavs are playing better now. They have won four straight as they return home from a five-game trip. But with Kristaps Porzingis dealing with a sprained wrist, I'll back Utah to win its 10th straight -- and cover.
The Jazz are rolling again, having won nine straight games. Luck has been on their side, considering all of their key contributors are healthy right now. Playing in Dallas might not exactly be a daunting task, given that the Mavericks are only 11-10 on their home floor. After winning both of their previous two meetings against the Mavericks by at least 12 points, I like the Jazz to cover in this contest as well.
