Luka Dončić has been listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Utah Jazz
The Dallas Mavericks could possibly have been 3-0 up if Dončić was fit to play in every game. While we may never know, Jalen Brunson and the Mavericks have made it certain that they didn't struggle. The Mavericks have a 2-1 lead over the Utah Jazz in their first-round matchup.
Brunson has proven himself capable of filling Dončić's big shoes with back-to-back exquisite performances that have given the Mavs an advantage. He has been the glue keeping the Mavs together.
The Jazz locked in an early lead, having won Game 1 by six points. Donovan Mitchell led the way with 32 points and Bogdan Bogdanovic had 26. The Mavs, on the other hand, had a slow scoring outing with Brunson leading the team with 24 points and Dinwiddie with 22.

Luka Doncic questionable but likely to play in Game 4 vs. Jazz. #MFFL #Mavs #dALLasIN thesmokingcuban.com/posts/luka-don…
The Mavs have been able to get by just as well without him as they lead the series 2-1. In their last outing, they defeated the Jazz 126-118 in their first game on the road.
Jalen Brunson was good for 31 points, five assists and a rebound, while Spencer Dinwiddie was the only other 20+ point scorer for the Mavs.
Since their first game of the playoffs, the Mavs have always started well, but ended up losing momentum in the third or fourth quarter. It is a reoccurring issue across all games in the series.
The Jazz will be looking to snatch a home win, having won Game 1 at the American Airlines Center, Dallas. With Dončić possibly playing, it might be a huge task for the Jazz.
