According to Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 contest against the Utah Jazz.
After a two-game absence with a calf strain, Doncic appears close to returning after the Mavericks listed their superstar as questionable. Expect Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie to play lead offensive roles if Doncic is ruled out against a Jazz unit ranked seventh among current playoff teams in defensive rating.
Brunson's current Game 3 projection includes 23.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.4 assists while Dinwiddie's expectation includes 19.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 8.3 assists.
