Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz: 3 big questions and a prediction

Which non-Luka Mav will step up?

If the Mavs are going to beat the Jazz to finally get out of the first round in the Luka Doncic era, they are going to need someone not named Luka to step up in a big way. Even more so if Luka is not ready to go at the start of the series.

Looking back at the Mavs this season, there are truly two candidates that could fit the mold for the job – Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie. Brunson has been a consistent second option for the Mavs all season long and Dinwiddie has had his moments since being acquired at the NBA Trade Deadline.

One, if not both, is going to have to step up if the Mavs are going to advance beyond the Jazz. Especially with the offensive firepower that they have in their arsenal.
