The Dallas Mavericks have been in terrific form of late. They have won seven of their last ten games to climb to fifth position in the West.

The team is ranked fifth in terms of defensive rating in the league. Players like Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock and Dwight Powell have played a big role in their improvement at that end.

Utah are a tough team to beat, but the Mavs will fancy their chances of winning at the Vivint Arena.


Key Player - Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic has been a man on a mission in the last month. His work at the offensive end has helped the Mavericks massively, and they now look like a team ready to make noise in the playoffs.

The Slovenian is averaging 39.8 PPG in his last five appearances, and is shooting the ball at 48.1% from the field. He will be key for the Mavs in their game against the Jazz. If he is able to deliver another big scoring night, the Mavericks will fancy their chances of winning on Friday.

The Utah Jazz were completely off track in the month of January. However, they have picked up form, and are finally looking like a dangerous unit once again. They are the best offensive unit in the league, and are ninth in terms of defensive rating.

Players like Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson have led their offense. Meanwhile, reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert is in charge of the defensive solidity of the team.

The Jazz have 24 games left in the regular season, and will look to make it count as they seek a top-three finish. However, for that to happen, they will have to play with consistency and fire on all cylinders in their remaining games.


Key Player - Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell is one of the best young players in the NBA. His ability to go on scoring outbursts and make tough shots has made him the best player in the Jazz roster. The 25-year-old has averaged 25.7 PPG and 5.2 APG in 46 appearances.

35 & counting ...

He has been plagued with injuries, but with the season reaching its business end, the Jazz will need him to be at his best. The Mavs are a stellar defensive unit, but containing a player like Mitchell is going to be tough.


Utah Jazz Predicted Lineup

G - Mike Conley; G - Donovan Mitchell; F - Bojan Bogdanovic; F - Royce O'Neale; C - Rudy Gobert.


Mavericks vs Jazz Match Prediction

The Mavericks and the Jazz have stunning rosters brimming with talent and depth. Their last encounter went down to the wire, and the same is expected in this game as well.

However, the Mavs have been the better team in the last few games, and will start as the favorites in this game. They will also have revenge in mind after the defeat they endured on Christmas Day.
