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.

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.
