While the Jazz shot very poorly from the perimeter, they saw solid scoring performances from Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson. A key double-double by Gobert also contributed to their win.
While the Jazz won in spectacular fashion, their performance was inconsistent. With massive swings in offensive and defensive output, Utah has work to do to make it past the first round of the playoffs.
Utah Jazz Predicted Lineup
G - Mike Conley | G - Donovan Mitchell | F - Bojan Bogdanovic | F - Royce O'Neale | C - Rudy Gobert.
Dallas Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a loss, but Luka Doncic return has come as a huge morale-booster as they head home for the next game.
Doncic missed the first three games of the series due to a calf strain. The superstar recorded 30 points and 10 rebounds on his return in the fourth game. Jalen Brunson also produced a solid performance.
Considering the close margin of defeat in Game 4, Dallas will fancy their chances at home. With all the pieces in place to dominate, the Mavs could run away with the series now that their star is back.
Luka Doncic in his first game of the playoffs:
30 PTS
10 REB
4 AST
2 STL
His 33.3 PPG in the playoffs is second to only Michael Jordan. https://t.co/DnWaCLUdW3
Dallas Mavericks Predicted Lineup
G - Jalen Brunson | G - Luka Doncic | F - Reggie Bullock | F - Dorian Finney-Smith | C - Dwight Powell.
Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Odds & Spreads
The oddsmakers marginally favor the Mavericks to win Game 5. This is probably due to their homecourt advantage and Luka Doncic's return. Doncic missed a large part of the series with a calf strain. He played the last game, which Dallas lost, so he will look to win this one.
