SALT LAKE CITY — On the surface, Raul Neto’s contributions to the Utah Jazz over the last five games have been rather modest.

Entering Saturday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Brazilian had averaged just 4.8 points and 3.5 assists in less than 12 minutes per contest since returning on Feb. 6 from an injury that kept him sidelined for almost a month.
