On Thursday night, the Dallas Mavericks face off against the Utah Jazz in a single-game slate, with both teams struggling this season. The Mavericks are favored despite their visitor status, while the Jazz have shown some competitive spirit recently.
Luka Doncic leads the slate as the highest-salaried player, expected to perform well despite a knee issue. Other key players include Kyrie Irving, Lauri Markkanen, and John Collins, who are all likely to be popular picks.
Value plays like Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton also present intriguing options for utility spots, given their recent performances and favorable matchups.
