Storyline to follow: Keeping the offense rolling

The Mavericks dropped 133 points in Portland on Thursday. The offense never looked better. Luka Doncic had 27 points and nine assists as seven players scored in double-figures. The entire team was rolling despite the loss of starting center Dwight Powell.

Dallas will have to keep it going against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. The Jazz are currently seventh in both defensive and offensive rating this season. Utah is red-hot, so the Mavs will need a strong offensive game to secure the road victory.
