With the Slovenian superstar likely out for the first two games, the Jazz can take the upper hand. Luka Doncic has been the best player of the Mavs, averaging 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists.
This is the first time in 11 years that Dallas has the home-court advantage. They want to win a playoff series for the first time since 2011, as they have lost in the first round six times.
