The game of the night is between the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks, as their first-round series is tied at two games apiece.
Dallas was unable to close out Game 4 in Utah, but it does have Luka Doncic back in the lineup for the second straight game.
Let’s get into some player props for this game via WynnBET:

Jalen Brunson 30+ Points, Rebounds and Assists (+115)
Jalen Brunson has been a revelation for the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs, and he continued his strong play even with Luka Doncic in the lineup in Game 4.
Brunson took 18 shots, scored 23 points and added five rebounds and three assists in the 100-99 loss.
Brunson has played 35-plus minutes in every game in this series, and Game 5 is about as critical as they come for Dallas to avoid having to win two straight to advance. As long as Brunson’s usage continues to stay around the way it was in Game 4, he should have no problem reaching this against Utah's weak perimeter defense.
Rudy Gobert OVER 14.5 Rebounds (-115)
Rudy Gobert has picked up 15 or more rebounds in three of the four games in this series, and he’s going to dominate the glass again in Game 5.
Dallas is grabbing just 43.5 percent of the available rebounds in this series, and Gobert is so much bigger than the entire front line of Dallas.
The seven-rebound Game 3 was an anomaly, and I think Gobert gets back to his 15-17 rebound self tonight.
Donovan Mitchell OVER 28.5 Points (-105)
Donovan Mitchell is a volume monster, as he’s taken 21 or more shots in each game in this series, and he’s cleared this line in three games in this series.
Mitchell shot just 7-for-21 in Game 4, but he should get back on track in Game 5 with the high-volume output from the floor.
The Mavericks have been solid on defense in this series, but the Jazz need Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic to carry the load scoring the ball.
