The best thing to do is hope that Doncic is on the floor when Game 3 tips off in Salt Lake City. Anything before that feels like asking for trouble.

The Mavericks certainly might win a single game against Utah, which does not enter the postseason on any kind of high note and seems like a club that could be in for an overhaul this summer if it fails to escape the first round. This marks the sixth straight playoff trip for Quin Snyder’s Jazz but the team has not survived the second round, blowing a 2-0 lead to the Clippers last spring.
