Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Series Winner Odds
| Team | Opening Odds | Game 1 | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mavericks | -105 | +240 | 79% | 37% |
| Jazz | -115 | -300 | 21% | 63% |
When looking at these two teams, we see a pretty interesting gap in the bets percentage and the handle percentage. 79% of the bets have come in on the Mavericks to win the series over the Utah Jazz but if you look at where the money is, 63% is on Utah to knockout Dallas.
During the regular season, these teams met four times and the two teams split the matchups with the home team winning each of those games. Dallas will have home court in the series but will that be enough to get the job done?

The status of their star, Luka Doncic is very much up in the air. Doncic, who is in the MVP conversation this year, suffered a calf sprain in Dallas' final game of the regular season. With his health up in the air, one would assume that Utah would have an advantage.
Over the last two years, Utah has disappointed a bit in the playoffs. In 2020, they collapsed against the Nuggets blowing a 3-1 series lead, and then last season they lost in the second round to a Clippers team that was without Kawhi Leonard.
So while yes, Utah should have an advantage with the Doncic injury, they are prone to postseason meltdowns. Nothing is written in stone here.
