WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz
WHAT: The Mavericks just want to win a stinkin’ game, y’all
WHERE: Vinent Arena, Salt Lake City, UT
WHEN: 8:00 p.m. CT
HOW: Fox Sports Southwest or NBA League Pass
THE STORY: The Mavericks begin a four game stretch where they play two very solid teams back to back to back to back, in the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns. They start off the run with two straight road games with the Jazz, first tonight then Friday. Per Rick Carlisle in the pre-game, Maxi Kleber is out of isolation and could return next week when Dallas is at home against the Suns.
Dallas will need all the help they can get because even without Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz are playing excellent basketball right now.
As always we’ll have the recap and a stats breakdown after the game. Depending on what else we have is when I’ll move the game thread off the main page. Have fun. Go Mavs.
