Steven Adams has been out the last ten games while the Grizz have gone 3-7. The Grizz miss the big man's rebounding and defense. Opponents have outrebounded the Grizz on average the last ten games whereas Grizz outrebound their opponents on average for the season. This game presents a good opportunity for rookie Kessler to dominate the boards.

The deep Grizz are nonetheless favored by 8.5 points.

Let's try to not screw it up by accidentally winning. 8-)

Markkanen was a late scratch for knee, and Sexton hurt his hamstring 4 mins in to the game, so the Jazz are struggling to score.

Fun loss.

Jones had more of an impact in less than 10 mins than Dok has the past 2.5 seasons.

That was a quality loss. At several points it looked like it would be an ugly blowout but somehow the Jazz managed to claw back to within 1 point and had a chance at a W.

Olynyk opened the game like a man possessed and was everywhere in the first quarter. It was easily his best game since he came back from injury.

THT has been looking much better in the last several games, which is nice to see. I hope he works on his 3 point shot in the offseason because it will unlock his game and could make him really good.
