3 prop bets for Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz

The Dallas Mavericks take on the Utah Jazz at home after a 1-1 start to their season and look to bounce back from a loss to the Phoenix Suns. As 12.5-point favorites, they are clear favorites over the Jazz.

Obviously, the Mavericks are a competitive team coming off a day of rest against a rebuilding team. Dallas should be able to easily defeat the Jazz as they could use a strong offensive game to get back on track.

Utah is 0-2 and has allowed many points in its two losses, while the Mavericks struggled to keep up with the Suns' offensive output in their last game.

Luka Doncic over 29.5 points (-118)

The Mavericks superstar and franchise player puts points on the board. That’s what he’s done since he entered the league. Against Phoenix, he scored 40 points while shooting the ball 25 times. He will take a similar number of shots while continuing to get to the free throw line at an efficient rate, which will allow him to break this score.

Klay Thompson over 3.5 3-pointers (-132)

The best thing about Thompson's addition is the quality of the 3-point attempts he makes at volume. During his time in the Bay Area, he relied on chemistry with his teammates and hitting hard in rhythm to get his points. In Dallas, he has crystal clear shot attempts from distance. He made six 3-pointers in his debut and five in his second game. This trend will continue with the volume at which he shoots the ball.

Lauri Markkanen over 7.5 rebounds (-102)

Jazz star Lauri Markkanen has this prop covered in his first two games. The Mavericks have been narrowly beaten by rebounds in their two games this season. Against the Suns, Durant – a forward – grabbed nine rebounds to complement his center. Expect Markkanen to play a similar role alongside Walker Kessler.
