If we got to game 4 down 2 to 1, I'd give the Mavs even odds to win 3 out of 4.
Extra incentive for Brunson...talk about a prime time audition for him to show how he'd play as the lead guard in a playoff series, heading into free agency. Every game he wins probably adds 2 million to his next contract.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see Dallas winning more than 1 game in Utah doing this series and that's if they win a road game at all.
Let's not forget they have lost like 15 straight games up in Utah so it'll be imperative that Dallas maintains HCA throughout this series.
