MATCHUP TO WATCH
*Donovan Mitchell vs. Spencer Dinwiddie
— With Luka Doncic set to be sidelined for game two, a lot of the pressure for the Mavericks will fall on midseason pickup Spencer Dinwiddie. Arguably their best offensive player on the court, he’s thrust into a starting role and must respond with a game-changing performance. On the flip side, Mitchell has been a killer in the playoffs and was sensational in the second half on Monday — and a repeat performance could put the Jazz in control heading back home.
