Teams Preview

Portland Trail Blazers

The new look Portland side is looking for some consistency and has won back-to-back games. With an average of 116.3 points in the season, the side stands 17th in the league. Deni Avdija leads the team in scoring and assists, while the team boosts solid veteran support.

Defensively, the team stays on the league average with eight steals per game, and also has 4.9 blocks per game (13th in the association). Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, and Matisse Thybulle are questionable for the game. But the team has one of the strongest bench supports in the league.

Utah Jazz

The Jazz side is one of the dark horses in the league for playoff contention. The side needs to show some consistency on the field as they could dispatch tough opponents as well as lose against lower-ranked sides. Wins against the Rockets and Grizzlies were impressive, but failed to capitalize on them in later games.

They rank seventh in the league with 119.8 points per game and have an offensive rating of 114.7. The team is one of the fastest sides in the league, boasting a 102.83 pace rating, but this quick offence is impacting their defensive stability as the side has a 121.5 defensive rating, which ranks 30th in the league.

Lauri Markkanen leads the side in scoring with a 27.8 points average. Jusuf Nurkic also provides potent support around the rim with his rebounding and blocking capabilities. The Utah team averages 44.7 rebounds per game, ranking sixth in the league. Their assist average also increased to 30 assists per game, which is the second-best in the league. But Will Hardy’s team is falling behind the league average. They average 7.6 steals per game and 3.4 blocks per game.
