Match Preview: Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz
The Dallas Mavericks will face the Utah Jazz on 21st April 2022, in what will be the 3rd game of their ongoing series in the 1st round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
Currently, the series is leveled up at 1-1, with both Dallas and Utah sharing the honors at Dallas’ home court. Now the focus shifts onto the Jazz, as the next two games are played at their home court.
Mavs:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frank Ntilikina | PG | Tue, Apr 19 | Mouth | Game Time Decision |
| Luka Doncic | PG | Mon, Apr 18 | Calf | Game Time Decision |
| Tim Hardaway Jr. | SG | Sat, Apr 9 | Foot | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
Jazz:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trent Forrest | SG | Wed, Apr 20 | Foot | Expected to be out until at least Apr 23 |
| Udoka Azubuike | C | Sat, Mar 26 | Ankle | Out for the season |
As expected Donovan Mitchell has elevated the game to the next level during the playoffs, and playing at home we can see another great game from him.
If Luka Doncic is once again unavailable to play this game, then Spencer can have a big game against the Jazz who have a poor defense.
The outcome of this match will largely depend on the availability of Luka Doncic. If he doesn’t play, then Jazz should win this game.
