They will hope to wrap up the series in Game 5 at home as they look to go one step further this year and win the championship.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks will need to put in the kind of performance they showcased in Game 3. They cannot afford to drop Game 4 at home. Led by superstar Luka Dončić, the Mavericks will need the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Jalen Brunson and Maxi Kleber to help out their talisman to win this game.
