The Portland Trail Blazers (26-29) travel to the Delta Center to face the Utah Jazz (18-37) tonight, aiming to snap a four-game road losing streak and secure a season series sweep. The Blazers take to the court after getting smacked by the Timberwolves in Minnesota last night, 133-109. Julius Randle poured in 41 and the T-wolves turned 25 Portland turnovers into 43 points. Jrue Holiday scored 23 and Scoot Henderson 18 points in the loss.
The Jazz (18-37) are looking to defend their home court and avoid being swept this season by their Northwest Division rivals. Utah has won two straight including last night at home against the Kings, 121-93. Starting in place of the injured Shaedon Sharpe, Isaiah Collier scored 12 and handed out 14 assists in the win. Scoring was not a problem last night and has not been a part of the problem for the Jazz most nights this season. They play with pace and average 118.3 points per game. They limited the Kings to 93 points last night, but defense has been the issue. The Jazz are dead last with a bullet this season allowing a league-worst 125.8 points per game (Washington is second-worst allowing 123.1 points per game).
