Utah Jazz Team News
The Utah Jazz should go in with exactly the same lineup they had against the Golden State Warriors in their last outing. They had started that game slowly and struggled to make a comeback from a 13-point first-half deficit.
Jordan Clarkson has virtually produced points off the bench in every game, while Rudy Gobert is coming off a huge 28-point rebound outing as well. A better start should help the Utah Jazz get back to winning ways.
Injured: Udoka Azubuike.
Doubtful: None.
Suspended: None.
Boston Celtics Team News
The Boston Celtics, meanwhile, have had their struggles defensively, but the likes of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley are due for big performances.

Daniel Theis is expected to start from the bench, while Robert Williams’ scoring form has been encouraging in recent games.
Injured: Romeo Langford.
Doubtful: None.
