Utah won Game 1 as Donovan Mitchell scored 30 of his 32 points in the second half and the Mavericks played without Luka Doncic, who still is suffering from a strained calf and likely won't play in this game. Jalen Brunson started in place of Doncic and scored 24 points, but the Jazz had a 20-7 edge in second-chance points. Utah has won five of its last seven and its last three games have gone UNDER by an average of 20 points. Only 88 points were scored in the first half on Saturday and the Mavericks shot only 38.2 percent for the game in Doncic's absence. In the final game of the regular season, Utah held Portland to just 40 points in the first half. The Jazz have covered five straight conference quarterfinal games and Dallas is 1-5 ATS its last six conference quarterfinal games. Take the Jazz as a Max Play for the full game, and also take the first half UNDER.
