Fanduel Odds

We’ve got a great matchup tonight fellas. The leagues brightest young superstar Lula Doncic will have a chance to showcase his talent against the best overall team in the league currently in the Jazz. The Jazz have won so many games behind great team play and not relying just on Mitchell, as well as great defense, a deep bench, and great coaching. They are playing as a unit and are thriving, while the Mavericks have been up and down all year. The Jazz have won 9 in a row, and the Mavericks have won 4 in a row, but Porzingis and Richardson are questionable tonight which will be a huge factor. I think the Jazz win no matter what, but if the Mavericks are missing key players then I think they will cover -5 as well, especially since they are fully healthy and are playing so well lately. I believe they will get it done, and as long as they can contain Doncic somewhat, they won’t have to worry about the rest of the Mavericks. Take the Jazz -5, over 223 total points, and Luka Doncic over 3.5 made threes.
