Premium Pick

Utah is big favorite, but not a strong offensive team, focusing on defense first. Utah is second worst offensively in the NBA with 94.5 points per game, outscoring opponents by less than a point per game. Utah lost leading scorer Gordon Hayward in the offseason, their go-to primary scorer, so the offense has had to make adjustments, whichis a work in progress. Dallas is in town, well coached under Rick Carlisle, and playing better. They've covered two of three, beating Memphis straight up as a +4 dog and dropping the last two by five and two points. Point guard J.J. Barea is the leader of a good bench and is averaging 13.1 points and 5.1 assists in 22.9 minutes. And Dallas is 32-16 ATS after dropping three of four contests. Play Dallas.
