Russell Westbrook / Thabo Sefolosha / Kevin Durant / Jeff Green / Nenad Krstic

VS.




Deron Williams / Wesley Matthews / C.J. Miles / Carlos Boozer / Paul Millsap

Matchup

Big game with big implications. We're 1.5 games behind the Jazz right now, not only will a win pull us almost dead even but it'd also give us a tiebreaker over them.

Utah will be missing three key players: Andrei Kirilenko, Mehmet Okur, and Ronnie Price. I'm assuming Millsap will start in place of Okur and CJ Miles in place of Kirilenko - both downgrades. Sundiata Gaines will likely back up Deron Williams.

Kevin Durant should have an easier time with Miles than he would against Kirilenko, but the Millsap / Boozer combination has potential to crush us on the boards and scoring in the paint. The interior defense and rotations will be important in this game as Utah moves the ball well on offense. Our help defense must keep up.

Deron Williams hasn't played well against us save the fourth quarter of the New Year's Eve game.

With Harden out we'll need someone to step up offensively with that second unit..
