Notes
With a win the Mavs would match their season-high win streak of 4 straight games. The Mavericks have won 6 straight and 18 out of 20 against Utah at home. Derrick Favors is questionable for the Jazz with a sore right hip. Dallas has scored at least 106 points in 6 straight games, and at least 110 in 4 of their last 5.
