The shooting guard came up big when Doncic sat out with an injury early in the series and continued to play well upon the star point guard's return. Brunson finished the first-round battle with per-game averages of 27.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists.

Impact Brunson was overshadowed by Luka Doncic (33 points, 13 rebounds, five assists) in the win, but the former was plenty productive with his fifth straight game of 20-plus points in the series. Brunson stepped up in impressive fashion when Doncic was forced to miss the first three games of the matchup due to a calf injury, and he's continued to shine since the All-Star point guard's return, averaging 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists across two contests. No other Maverick scored more than 13 points Monday, emphasizing Brunson's role as the team's No. 2 offensive option when Doncic is on the court.

Impact Luka Doncic returned to action Saturday from a calf injury, and as a result Brunson has his lowest scoring output of the series so far, although he was still plenty productive. The fourth-year guard is averaging 29.8 points, 5.3 boards, 4.5 assists and 2.3 threes so far in the first round, and he should again be a key part of the Mavericks' plans in Game 5 on Monday.

Pours in 31 in heroic effort Brunson closed with 31 points (12-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and five assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-118 win over Utah.
Impact The performance was even more impressive considering he went to the locker room briefly in the second quarter after a collision with Royce O'Neale, before returning and playing through what was diagnosed as a bruised back. Brunson has led the Mavericks to a 2-1 series lead even without Luka Doncic (calf) in the lineup, averaging 32.0 points, 5.3 boards, 5.0 assists and 2.3 threes through three games against the Jazz.
