DAL vs UTA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz

DAL vs UTA Dream11: The Western Conference Playoffs have been intriguing. Two teams seeded seventh and eighth have tied their series versus the top-two ranked squads and although those squads have home-court advantage the bottom feeders have shown their strength. And then there is another tied series, in this game the Dallas Mavericks will host the Utah Jazz, tied at two each.

The Jazz bounced back with another close shave as they beat the Doncic-led Mavericks 100:99. This win will bolster the Jazz squad that looked down-and-out in Games 2 and 3. As the series heads back to the Mavericks’ floor, we are in a best of three scenario as the boosted Jazz will look to eke another one out away from home.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Awesome series

The Mavericks showed a lot of finesse in Games 2 and 3 but the Jazz rolled back into the series finally being able to close a game and 22-18 fourth quarter sealed the deal for them. Perhaps the return of Doncic, who did drop 30 points, took some air out of Brunson’s game who had scored 41 and 31 in Games 2 & 3. This will be an interesting scenario as to how the Mavs make adjustments to the Doncic’s return.

In Game 4, the Jazz collected 13 offensive rebounds and committed just eight turnovers which gave them two more field goal attempts than the Mavericks. The Jazz also had 44 trips to the free-throw line, but only converted 26 of them as Gobert shot 9 of 18 from the line. The Mavericks had another strong three-point game, as they clicked on 15 triples compared to ten by the Jazz.

Jordan Clarkson’s 25 points night was a huge difference-maker as he single-handedly outscored the Mavericks bench. Mitchell continued to struggle from the three-point line but the Jazz got it done on the defensive end limiting the Mavericks to around 43% from the field, although the elite Mavs defense also restricted Jazz to 40.5% but as said above, the rebounding battle pulled them through.

Fantasy scenarios

With Doncic’s return, he becomes the favorite to be rostered in the fantasy lineups. He had a strong game, shot an efficient percentage but the rest of the unit was unable to pull through. Dinwiddie’s value is likely to drop with Doncic’s return while Brunson’s production has also been affected but he remains a strong pick nonetheless. Finney-Smith and Bullock still make for amazing filler players.

Although he has struggled, Donovan Mitchell remains the hot favorite from the Jazz’s side. Rudy Gobert poured in a bunch of fantasy points in the last game while Jordan Clarkson improved his metrics through a strong performance. Bojan Bogdanovic had a so-so night but he is still a strong option considering he has scored 20+ in three of the four games.

Luka Doncic(DAL)
Points: 30

Rudy Gobert(UTA)
Points: 17

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 26-42

Jalen Brunson(DAL)
Points: 23
Rebounds: 05
Assists: 03
Lefty Guard Jalen has been an eyeball catcher throughout the Playoffs and alongside Doncic, he forms a strong pairing. I expect him to be in 18-24 points and 4-7 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 25-37

Bojan Bogdanovic(UTA)
Points: 12
Rebounds: 04

While wing Bojan hasn’t shot that well from three-point all that well but he still has a 50% Field Goals and he can be a huge factor here. I expect a 18-25 points and 3-5 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 18-34

Dorian Finney-Smith(DAL)
Points: 11
Rebounds: 04
