Match Preview: Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz
Jazz:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trent Forrest | SG | Sat, Apr 16 | Foot | Game Time Decision |
| Udoka Azubuike | C | Sat, Mar 26 | Ankle | Out for the season |
Mavs:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frank Ntilikina | PG | Sun, Apr 17 | Mouth | Expected to be out until at least Apr 21 |
| Luka Doncic | PG | Sat, Apr 16 | Calf | Game Time Decision |
| Tim Hardaway Jr. | SG | Sat, Apr 9 | Foot | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
With Luka Doncic unavailable to play in Game 2 also, Dinwiddie will be needed to step up just like he did in the first game if the Mavs want to win without their superstar.
We all know what happens with Donovan Mitchell during the playoffs and saw that in the 2nd half of the first game, where he dropped 30 points and he will be looking forward to doing that here also.
The Utah Jazz will once again be the favorites to win this game against the Mavs without Luka, and this is a good opportunity for them to go 2-0 up in this series.
