Must win.

I am not sure I want the Jazz to trade Conley, but this would be a particularly good night for Conley to have a good game if the Jazz are seriously considering trading him. The Clips are reportedly interested. Their poor record notwithstanding, they are still hoping to compete for a championship, and they could use Conley's veteran leadership and playmaking.

Leonard and PG have only played 369 mins on the court together this season, but both players are more healthy right now than they have been much of the season. Leonard is listed unlikely to play tonight for reason of rest on a back to back, not injury, and Paul George is listed out for reason of hamstring management on a back to back.

SLTrib's Eric Walden just reported that Markkanen is available to play.

I have a feeling Markkanen will be beasting.

Lauri might want to show them Paul George voters that George shouldn't be ahead of Markkanen in the All-Star voting. I believe that he's the guy right ahead of Markkanen, but bit too far ahead in votes I'm afraid.

Not sure if you guys seen this yet, but this dunk by Markkanan was nasty.

Believe it or not, but we're tired with the Warriors for the 6th seed lol.

That’s one identical photo. Good find.

So what's the hot take from this game other than the Jazz are on route to build around Markkanen?

Will be tough even for Wembanyama to produce this efficient scoring!

Kessler maturing nicely, too... All-in, Ainge!
