The Utah Jazz will take on the Dallas Mavericks the day after a hard-fought game with the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in Salt Lake City.
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a win against the Sacramento
Kings on Wednesday. The Mavericks and Jazz are competing for draft position, and tonight’s game is extremely important for both teams in the lottery. But it’s probably most important for the Jazz because they can lose their pick this year, the Mavericks own theirs outright. If Utah can lose this game tonight and put space between them and the Mavericks, it will go a long way towards Utah having a successful season of keeping their pick.
Injury Report
Tonight, it looks like the Jazz will be without Jusuf Nurkic and Ace Bailey once again. Bailey is out with a hip flexor, and the Jazz are obviously trying to be careful.
