Utah Jazz vs. Dallas Mavericks Game 3 prediction
With this game being in the Rocky Mountains, the pace will slow down quite a bit. This plays right into what the defensive-minded Jazz want to do. Though Luka Doncic may be making his return to the hardwood for Dallas on Thursday, his conditioning will not be where it needs to be to steal a game from Utah in Salt Lake City. This will be a rock fight, but one where the Jazz come out on top.
Prediction: Jazz 91, Mavericks 84.
