GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz

WHAT: A chance to rebound from last night's unspeakable madness.

WHERE: EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah

WHEN: 8:00 p.m. CDT

HOW: FSSW

THE STORY: Well, let's pretend last night didn't happen, shall we? The Mavs are the beneficiaries of having the fewest remaining back to backs in the league from here on out, but this is one of them. As far as B2Bs go the Mavs haven't fared that poorly, though, and tonight at least provides an opponent who shouldn't be as much of a challenge as last night. Devin Harris' status is (as of this writing) unknown, as he aggravated his right Achilles in last night's matchup. I wouldn't bet on him playing, so hopefully young Shane can pick up some good minutes. It also seems as if Crowder has not yet joined the team with that abdominal strain. So! Injuries! Ugh.

Anyway, the opponent doesn't get much easier as far as potential bounce-back games. Go Mavs.
