The Jazz will head into the American Airlines Center on Monday night and attempt to capture a commanding 2-0 series lead against a Mavericks squad that will likely be without Luka Doncic.
Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert performed like stars in Game 1, guiding Utah to a 99-93 victory. Mitchell scored 30 of his 32 points in the second half, and Gobert patrolled the paint, grabbing 17 rebounds and blocking three shots.

Dallas struggled offensively without Doncic, who is recovering from a calf injury that he suffered in the Mavericks’ regular season finale. The Mavs shot just 38.2 percent from the field and 28.1 percent from 3-point range as team. They will have to create better scoring opportunities in Game 2 if they want to avoid falling into a 2-0 hole.
