3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Mavericks vs. Jazz Game 6 (Three Mavericks to Trust on Thursday)
By Peter Dewey
The Dallas Mavericks are one win away from closing out the Utah Jazz in Game 6, and the Jazz have a banged up Donovan Mitchell heading into this game.
The Mavericks were two-point favorites in this game at WynnBET, but the line has moved to a pick’em as we near tip off on Thursday night.
Let’s break down some player props to consider in this critical Game 6:
Best Prop Bets for Mavericks vs. Jazz in Game 6
- Dorian Finney-Smith OVER 12.5 Points (-105)
- Jalen Brunson 25+ Points and Assists (-110)
- Spencer Dinwiddie 14+ Points and Rebounds (-115)
Dorian Finney-Smith OVER 12.5 Points (-105)
Dorian Finney-Smith is the first of three Mavericks players that I’m backing in this game, as DFS has been solid all series long, scoring 14, nine, 14, 11 and 13 points in the first five games.
Finney-Smith’s role on offense is pretty simple, as he is a catch-and-shoot threat off of Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson creating.
DFS has taken five or more 3-pointers in every game in this series, and if he creeps towards double-digit shot attempts, I think he’s a great bet to clear this number as an afterthought in Dallas’ offense.
Jalen Brunson 25+ Points and Assists (-110)
I can’t say enough good things about Jalen Brunson, who is going to get PAID this offseason, as he’s cleared this line in every game in this series.
Yes, Doncic is back, but Brunson has taken 18 and 20 shots in the two games with Luka, and he’s averaging 28.6 points and 4.6 assists per game in these playoffs.
As long as Brunson’s shot volume stays the same, he’s a great bet to get 25-plus points and assists, and he may do it on points alone.
Spencer Dinwiddie 14+ Points and Rebounds (-115)
Spencer Dinwiddie has struggled shooting the ball in this series, and he’s seen his role diminish with Luka back in the lineup.
However, I think this number is low enough for Dinwiddie to get back on track on Thursday.
With the Mavericks this season, Dinwiddie averaged 15.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, but he’s just seen his efficiency drop mightily in the playoffs. If Dinwiddie is just a little better from the field on Thursday, I think he scores enough points to push this prop over.
