Below are the Mavericks vs. Jazz odds as well as our professional NBA selections and forecasts.Over the weekend, the Mavericks made a big statement by trading for Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and many draught selections. Irving will, however, not be prepared for the game on Monday and will instead join his new team on Wednesday.Luka Doncic, a top player for the Mavericks, has also been ruled out due to a heel injury, while Christian Wood (thumb) is questionable. As a result, the Mavericks will rely on players like Reggie Bullock, Josh Green, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jaden Hardy from their short bench.

Jazz vs. Mavericks picks and predictions
Jazz 118, Mavericks 102 is the prediction
Moneyline : Even though the Mavericks (+325) are severely undermanned for this game, the Jazz (-400) will cost you four times your potential return.
Over/Under: Since the Mavericks will have a small bench and a severe shortage of scoring with Doncic out, UNDER 221.5 (-115) is the lean. Currently, the Under has won all five of the previous meetings in this series. Another game might be on the decline in SLC.
