Dallas at Utah

A pair of teams that prefer a slow pace and both played last night. Dallas is #10 in the NBA in points allowed. They are a big dog to a Utah squad that is #25 in the league in points scored, #17 in field goal shooting. Utah wasn't sharp coming out of the All-Star break, losing 100-81 at home to Portland last night as a favorite. The Jazz committed 20 turnovers, getting only 17 points in each of the final three quarters. They are also dealing with an injury to point guard Ricky Rubio (hip), who has missed most of the last four games, making this a great spot for the big dog to pull the upset. Play Dallas on the moneyline.
