Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they get you ready for Wednesday night’s game between your Portland Trail Blazers and the Utah Jazz.
Like nearly every team in the league, the Jazz will be shorthanded, although not as limited as some teams hit harder by both injury and COVID bugs. Star guard Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out, but the rest of the rotation appears to be ready to go - including Rudy Gobert who will go up against... no player over 6-foot-9-inches tonight.
The reason that Gobert won’t see any real size is because both Jusuf Nurkic and Cody Zeller remain out in Health & Safety protocols while the Blazers also (for some reason) opted not to sign a player big enough to contend against a single starting center in the NBA.
