Jazz Without Kessler Against Mavericks
The Utah Jazz will look to avoid losing their sixth straight home game when they host the Dallas Mavericks.
This season, the Jazz are 0-5 when playing on their home floor, tying the 1974 New Orleans Jazz for the worst start in franchise history.

Only the 2-10 Toronto Raptors and 2-9 Philadelphia 76ers have more losses than the Jazz through the first three weeks of the season.
The Jazz will look to snap their home losing streak against Dallas, but will be shorthanded in the process.

Center Walker Kessler has been ruled out for the second straight game due to hip bursitis.
Kessler’s nine starts are tied with Keyonte George for the most on the roster, and he leads the team in rebounds, blocks, and field goal percentage.
The Jazz fell to the Mavericks 110-102 in their third game of the season.
