Jazz @ Mavs -3

[sweetjones55]

The Jazz are back on the road tommrow @ Dallas -3 (5 Dimes). The Jazz finally won a game agasint a western conference playoff team in New Orleans but New Orleans was nowhere near full strength.

I can't really see the Jazz all of a sudden winning two in a row on the road vs another playoff caliber western conference team especially considering the fact Dallas has been real hot at home as of late, 11-1 SU. The home team has won each matchup SU so far this year and the home team has also won SU the last 7 matchups between these two teams. CJ miles is very doubtful for the game, Kirilenko will likely start in his place.

I like Dallas -3. What do you guys think? W 1-0

considering that 3 out of the last 4 games between these 2 teams at dallas has gone over AND the fact that dallas doesn't really wanna play D, i like the over in this one but my instincts tell me to leave the o/u in this one alone... i also like dallas to cover at home tonite

I just found some really interesting information about Dallas last three home losses. Dallas is 22-4 last 26 home games. The most recent lost to Denver on March 27th was without Josh Howard or Jason Kidd. Another loss was to Boston (fully loaded with KG, Allen, Pierce, Rondo) on April 12th and that game Dallas did not have Jason Terry. I kept going back and their next two losses were to New Orleans (Jan 14th) and Denver (Dec 15th). Josh Howard did not play in that loss to New Orleans. So basically the last loss Dallas has had @ home at full strength was about 4 months ago to Denver.

uve sold it to me

logical play, but if anything i would tease utah up

[sweetjones55]

Teasing up Utah isn't a bad idea. Dallas has won a lot of close games @ home lately. Heat by 2, Pistons by 2, SA by 5, Thunder by 2. GL cs.
