The Utah Jazz will welcome the Dallas Mavericks for a regular-season clash on Monday, December 15. This will be the first time these Western Conference teams will meet in the NBA 2025-26 season. The Jazz enter the matchup on the back of a four-point victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. With this victory, they snapped their two-game losing streak, and improved their season tally to 9-15 to move 11th in the West.

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks, who have had a horrible start to the season, are coming off a two-game winning streak. In their most-recent matchup, they handed an eight-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The game saw Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis drop a combined 46 points to push the Mavs beyond victory line and improve their seasonal tally to 10-16.

Both teams are coming off victories and would aim to extend their momentum and dominate one-another to improve their seasonal record. However, before that, let’s see what are the injury concerns both teams have ahead of their Monday’s match-up.
