The Utah Jazz (16-10) take on the Dallas Mavericks (9-16) Friday night at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Tip-off is set for 8:30 as it is a nationally-televised game on ESPN. The Jazz come into the game winners of 9 out of their last 11 and are slowly getting healthy. They will be without Alec Burks and George Hill again tonight, but everyone is else is ready to go.
