Philadelphia has hit a speed bump on this West Coast trip, dropping two straight games in Portland and Phoenix, despite the full availability of the starting lineup. Tonight is far from a get-right game, though, as they’ll take the floor in Utah against a Jazz club hotter than any team in the NBA. Utah has won seven straight, and 18 out of its last 19 games, with 16 of those wins coming by double digits. The Jazz are KO’ing one opponent after another like Little Mac rushing through the game to reach Mike Tyson.
Over the last 10 days, Utah has been without Mike Conley due to a hamstring injury.
