Simply put: Alexandar Georgiev answered the call in Game 2 in Winnipeg. While I still don't fully trust him, I do believe Georgiev played well enough to get the confidence boost he needed for the Avs to go on a run. I also expect a better performance from Connor Hellebuyck, but this Avs attack is lethal. Look for Colorado to continue its dominance at Ball Arena on Friday night.

Kawhi Leonard grabbed seven rebounds in 35 minutes in Game 2. In his two previous meetings with the Mavs, Leonard collected 10 and six rebounds. Dallas gives up the third-most rebounds in the NBA (53.7 percent) and has yielded 59 per game over its last three. Leonard (knee) is questionable but expected to play. He is "feeling good" after returning to action Tuesday, per coach Ty Lue. Look for Leonard to play 30-plus minutes and pull down at least six rebounds.
