The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz meet for the second time in the early season for Thursday’s lone game on the NBA slate.

Dallas is 5-6 on the year and is coming off an emotional loss to the Warriors in Klay Thompson’s return game. Thomspon went off for 22 points, but it was Steph Curry (who scored 12 straight points in 4Q) who stole the show. Dallas has lost three straight games and four of the past five. This away game is the final of a three-game road trip.

Utah is 2-9 this season. The Jazz started 0-7 and are 2-2 in their last four games with wins over the Bulls (135-126) and Spurs (111-110). Utah and Dallas have an even halftime advantage, but the Jazz have a four-game road trip after this home game, while Dallas heads back home.

NBC Sportsbook Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Klay Thompson going under his 20.5 points + rebounds prop against Utah and after emotional return to Golden State:

“Klay Thompson went through his prop of 18.5 points + rebounds for us against the Warriors. He combined for 26 points and rebounds and played a season-high 34 minutes.

Now Thompson’s prop goes from 18.5 to 20.5, which doesn’t make sense considering the more than likely lack of focus on this game after playing at the Chase Center where he helped the Warriors win four rings.

This is an ideal fade spot for Thompson, who is averaging 14.5 points and 3.7 rebounds (18.2 P+R) this season. I like Thompson going under his 20.5 points + rebounds prop (-115 odds) in Utah.

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the Mavericks and the Jazz:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Dallas at ML (-400)
· Spread: NBC Sports has high confidence in Dallas -9 on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has little confidence heading into a game at the Total UNDER 232.5 points
