Normally facing a team minus their best player would seem like a huge advantage for the Jazz. Considering their recent 5-game losing streak, maybe not so much.
In Utah’s slump seemingly every night their opponent missed key players and were able to handle the Jazz with relative ease. The Mavericks, minus Luka Doncic, might be missing too much though.
Luka Doncic is listed as out for Monday’s game vs. Utah on the NBA’s latest injury report.
Carlisle has been noncommittal on which game, if either, Doncic will return before All-Star break.
