The Utah Jazz (29-38) match up again in Salt Lake City against the Timberwolves (46-21), who stayed in SLC after a 119-100 shellacking of the Jazz on Saturday. Last time, even with their two star big men out, the Timberwolves bested the Jazz behind two stat-studded performances from Anthony Edward (31p/10r/5a/3s/3b) and Naz Reid (22p/12r/5a/2s/2b). We got to see a matchup between NBA old hand and Jazz fan favorite Mike Conley (25p/2r/2a) and his ever more likely heir apparent, Keyonte George (18p/3r/2a), but the Jazz fell behind in the third quarter and never recovered.
We’ll likely continue to see a lot of time for rookies Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh, as well as increased minutes for previously end-of-rotation players like Johnny Juzang, Micah Potter, and Jason Preston, with veterans like Lauri Markkanen questionable (and likely not playing) and Jordan Clarkson ruled out.
