Utah Jazz Preview
Despite being shorthanded, the Jazz took care of the Knicks in style. Quin Snyder was without two key starters in Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic on the night. In their absence, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert displayed their All-Star caliber abilities.
Mitchell had 36 points on seven of 12 shooting from three-point range, while Gobert finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. Utah trailed by five points at the end of the first quarter but came back strong and went into halftime with a seven-point lead. From there on, they dominated the game and came away with a comfortable win.

The Jazz were lethal, as always, from three-point range, making 17 triples as a team. They also restricted their turnovers, committing only 11 of them. They will have to do more of the same to improve their chances of beating the star-studded Nets team.
Utah Jazz Predicted Lineup
G - Donovan Mitchell | G - Nickeil Alexander-Walker | F - Royce O'Neale | F - Jarred Vanderbilt | C - Rudy Gobert
Brooklyn Nets Preview
The Nets continue their fight to win games, despite having a depleted roster, especially at home. Ben Simmons is yet to make his debut, while Kyrie Irving's vaccination status continues to limit his inclusion in the lineup for home games.
Brooklyn earned a hard-fought 128-123 win against the rebuilding Trail Blazers in their last match. Kevin Durant, Seth Curry and Goran Dragic were key architects for the victory. Durant had 35 points on 11 of 15 shooting, Curry scored 27 points on seven of 11 shooting from the arc, while Dragic ran the show from the point guard position, dishing out ten dimes on the night.

The Nets were efficient offensively, making 50% of their shots from the field while also registering 29 team assists. However, they struggled on defense and will have to improve in that area to have a healthy chance of defeating Utah.
Brooklyn Nets Predicted Lineup
G - Goran Dragic | G - Seth Curry | F - Bruce Brown | F - Kevin Durant | C - Andre Drummond.
