Match Preview: Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks

The Utah Jazz will face the Dallas Mavericks on 23rd April 2022, in what will be the 4th game of their ongoing first-round series in the Western Conference Playoffs.

The Mavs currently lead this series 2-1 and are in a good position to progress to the 2nd round of the playoffs. With Luka scheduled to return in the 4th or 5th game of the series, Utah needs to bounce back quickly.

Players to watch out for in Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks

  • Donovan Mitchell – Jazz

Spida needs to have a big game here, and force a win for his team. If the Jazz loses this game, then the series might very well be over in the 5th game of the series.

  • Jalen Brunson – Mavs

In the absence of Luka Doncic, Brunson has stepped up massively, and he will look to shine once again if Luka is not cleared to play.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

The Utah Jazz needs to win this game, and if Luka Doncic is out, they will be in a good position to bounce back and level up the series.

Prediction:

  • Utah Jazz to win the game.
