Jazz Analysis: They’ve lost 3 games in a row

After losing to the Thunder 119-107 last night, the Utah Jazz have been in a real slump, having lost 6 of their previous 7 games overall. They will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak. With 25 points and 7 assists on 12 of 19 shooting, Collin Sexton led the team. John Collins and Taylor Hendricks each contributed 16 and 12 points. The Jazz played excellent defense early on to take a slim lead into halftime, shooting 44% from the field and 10 of 36 from three. However, they once again let all of their effort go to waste in the 4th quarter, giving up 37 points to lose by double digits.

Mavericks Analysis: They’ve won 4 of their previous 5 games

With a victory here, Dallas will look to increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs automatically. With a 40-29 record, Jason Kidd’s team is only one and a half games out of the top six. But, they are level with Phoenix in 8th place, and a loss here could push them further into the play-in spots. The Mavericks defeated the Spurs 113-107 in their most recent game, and they have now won 6 of their previous 7 games. They also decisively defeated the Jazz, winning their matchup by a score of 50. They will lead this series 2-1 going into the decisive game if they win this one as well. Due to an ankle issue, Josh Green is not expected to play in this match.
