QUESTIONABLE – Rudy Gobert (left calf soreness)
Gobert was absent for nine consecutive games back in late January and early February with the same calf injury. After a seven-game return, it looks like it has reared its head once again. Utah will hope he can give it a go in a pivotal matchup with the Dallas Mavericks who sit just 2.5 games behind them in the West. The Jazz are just 6-8 in the 14 games that Gobert has missed this season.
Gobert has averaged 15.7 points, a league-leading 14.8 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game in 49 starts this season. If he is unable to give it a go, expect Udoka Azubuike to get the start and see a solid uptick from his usual minutes.
The Utah Jazz are currently 2.5-point underdogs against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday with the total set at 216.5, per the FanDuel Sportsbook.
