Luka Doncic will be a game-time decision after suffering a left calf strain on Sunday as Dallas faces Utah in Game 1 of their series. The Jazz have won four of their last six games, including a 111-80 wipeout of Portland in the final game of the regular season with Juancho Hernangomez leading the Jazz with 22 points as they rested some starters. The Jazz have covered five of seven playing with at least three days rest, and the Mavericks are 1-4 in their last five playoff games as underdogs. The UNDER is 11-1-1 in Utah's last 13 games after winning by at least 10 points, and the Jazz are 22-10-1 UNDER as a favorite. Dallas is 42-18 UNDER in its last 60 games as an underdog and 19-7 UNDER as a home dog. Utah is led by Donovan Mitchell, who averages 25.9 points, and he sat out against the Trail Blazers after scoring 18 points against Phoenix. Back the Jazz for a Max Play, and also go with the UNDER.
