Lauri Markkanen is a guy who owes us some bread. The last time we bet him he fell just short but he seems like a nice guy who won’t do us wrong twice in a row. The last time these two teams faced off this year he was sidelined but I think he puts up a great game against them in his first game against Luka Doncic and Co. this year.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz Prediction

Lauri has 24+ points in four of his last five starts and the one miss was his most recent. I don’t expect back to back stinkers, a bounce back should be in the works here. Dallas allows the second most points to power forwards and that will be where Lauri plays the majority of his minutes.

This game projects to be close with a -4.5 spread and to be very high scoring with a 245 total. If this game turns into a track meet I think Utah should have their top offensive weapon average six points a quarter. Let's roll!
