T.M. Selection: Jazz/Mavericks OVER.

I am on the over in the Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks game on Monday. The Jazz took the 1st game of this series and that was a really low scoring game that neither team even hit 100 points in. I think that will be different in this game though and I expect this game to go over the total. The Jazz looked good in that 1st game and Mitchell had a very good night. I expect him to have another good night here and help his team put up more points in this game. He didn't get a lot of help in that game as he and Bogdanovic really carried the team but I expect some more offensive contribution from players like Conley and Gobert in this game. The Mavericks are already down 1-0 on their home court here and I think they will come out a lot more aggressive in this game. They can't go into Utah down 2-0 in the series from their home games so I think the Mavericks are going to leave it all out on the floor here trying to tie up the series. I think they are going to need a lot more offense here and I expect Brunson to step up and carry a lot of that weight. The Mavericks hung around in that 1st game and I think they can stick around in this game too. I see this being another close game but I think the Mavericks are going to need more offense to have a chance in this game and with the total so low here, I like this game to go over.

T.M. Prediction: 112-107 Jazz.
