It must be NBA Playoffs time, because both the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks have been stressing defense lately.

The Under is 4-1 in the last five Dallas games, with the Mavericks holding three of those opponents under 90 points and the run-and-gun Phoenix Suns to 98. In fact, the Mavs have looks more like the San Antonio Spurs defensively lately, uncharacteristically limiting those last five opponents to just 41.6 percent shooting from the floor.

As for the Jazz, all that they have done is hold their last two opponents in the 60s on a combined 51 for 140, 36.4 percent shooting. Most impressive is that fact that it was the normally potent New Orleans Hornets that the Jazz held to a season-low 66 points on Tuesday. We look for a third straight concerted defensive effort tonight, as Utah has yet to wrap up home court advantage in the first round despite already clinching their division.

Now the Mavericks may not be held below 70 tonight, but we still look for a safe Under here with this game being played in the 180s.
