The Utah Jazz (14-27) visit the Dallas Mavericks (16-26) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Saturday, January 17, at the American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks are recently coming off a 144-122 victory over these very same Jazz team just two days ago. The Mavericks didn't trail for long, as their offense clicked brilliantly despite missing rookie sensation Cooper Flagg.
Seven Mavs players scored in double digits in that win, including a team-high 26 points from Klay Thompson. Veteran forward Naji Marshall also contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals.
However, Flagg is still listed as day-to-day in the Mavericks' injury report, along with P.J. Washington, Max Christie, and Daniel Gafford. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, Kyrie Irving, and Dante Exum are all listed as out for Saturday's game.
As for the Jazz, they've lost three of their last four games, including the 22-point defeat to the short-handed Mavericks. Their defense has been the culprit all season long, as they're ranked dead last in the league in defensive rating (123.2).
Jazz star Lauri Markkanen will miss the rematch due to an illness. He joins Georges Niang and Walker Kessler as those who won't suit up for the Jazz on Saturday.
