The Utah Jazz are entering San Antonio to take on the San Antonio Spurs, who are looking like the premiere team in the league. How nice it is to have lottery luck, right?
Utah has some swagger of their
own coming off a game-winning shot from Keyonte George that knocked off the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons.
Utah absolutely has an on-ball star on their hands that can help lead them to wins at the end of games. The question is, can they get a star to pair with him in the upcoming draft? Utah has to get some lottery luck to make sure, but they’ll need to figure out how to lose more of these games if they’re going to do it. But with someone as good as Keyonte George, that’s going to be very difficult.
One thing that will help is not having players like Kevin Love and Svi Mykhailiuk adding points night after night. It would be a smart thing for the Jazz front office to make a move here soon…
That said, Utah on the road is a completely different team. Tonight they take on Spurs team that looked dominant against the reigning champion, Oklahoma City Thunder. Utah comes into this resting Kevin Love, something they might have wanted to do last game….
The other scratch is Ace Bailey who has a hip flexor injury. We’ll see how long they rest him but they shouldn’t rush him back with no reason to risk injuries.
