Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz Prediction & Match Preview - November 11th, 2021 | NBA Season 2021-22
The Indiana Pacers will lock horns with the Utah Jazz in an exciting regular-season game at Vivint Arena on Thursday. A win in this game would give both teams a much-needed boost in the tough round of fixtures coming forward.
The Indiana Pacers will head to Denver to face off against the Nuggets on Wednesday. With Nikola Jokic out, the Nuggets look a bit short-handed. It will give the Pacers a strong chance of getting to a win and help boost their morale for the game the next day against the Jazz.
another balanced effort tonight 🙌

Utah Jazz Preview
The Utah Jazz have started their 2021-22 season amazingly well. They hold an 8-3 record and sit in second place in the Western Conference. The team faced two consecutive defeats against the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic but bounced back with a brilliant win against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. A win against the Indiana Pacers would be a great boost for them, as the Jazz face tough teams like the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors in the coming week.

Key Player - Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert is the reigning defensive player of the year. He offers the team defensive stability and rim protection, which has helped the team excel into becoming one of the best teams in the Western Conference. The French center is averaging 14.6 PPG and a league-high 15.9 RPG. He will be very important against the Pacers as the Jazz will need him to stop Domantas Sabonis. Gobert will be hoping to continue his brilliant form and produce a big night against the Pacers on Thursday.
