Collin Sexton Set to Return for Utah Jazz Against Dallas Mavericks

Collin Sexton, the shooting guard for the Utah Jazz, is listed as available to play in the upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, November 14, 2024. This comes after he had been dealing with a minor finger issue but has since been cleared to return to his usual role.

Sexton has been performing well this season, averaging 15.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. In his last notable performance, he scored 24 points, including 4-7 from three-point range, along with two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in a win over the Chicago Bulls.

For the upcoming game, Sexton’s projections are promising. He is expected to score around 16.6 points, given his recent form and the favorable matchup against the Mavericks. The Jazz’s up-tempo pace and home court advantage are also expected to boost his performance. However, it’s noted that the Mavericks’ slow pace on the road could reduce the number of possessions for the Jazz.

Sexton’s ability to make free throws is another strong aspect of his game, with an average of 4.4 free throws made per game, ranking him in the 93rd percentile in the NBA. Despite some concerns about his fouling rate at home, Sexton is anticipated to remain a key contributor for the Jazz in this matchup.
