Markkanen and Clarkson are listed as GTD, Zion isn't on the injury report at all so I'm assuming he's playing.

Clarkson will play, Lauri not.

After missing last game, I was hoping to watch Dunn start this game with George. No disrespect to our second leading scorer, Clarkson, but Dunn helps more on the defensive end. Dunn played the first 7:34 of Q1 last game before leaving with the Jazz up 3, 17-14.
I will get to see Yurtseven with his second start.
It's hard to beat a team twice in a row, especially with Zion coming back and Lauri out. Go Jazz!

Can they replace Hollie already? I’ll listen to Boler and Harpring if I have to.

The Jazz played much better, to my surprise. The defense was better too. Props to Fontecchio who competes rather well. I thought this was a good game for everyone overall, and it looks like Hardy managed to get the players to play some defense, which is nice to see.

It seemed like Clarkson was the PG and Keyonte was the SG. Keyonte was looking to score, and he came up with an efficient, season-high 19 pts on a season-high 14 fga, while Clarkson had 10 assists and just one turnover. Keyonte shot the three ball well, and he got to the free throw line on some of his drives to the basket. He had an emphatic dunk too!
It was great to see Kessler back and playing well. He was prominently involved in the action on both ends of the floor. He was making good cuts to the basket and his teammates were finding him. He did a great job of finishing.
Yurtseven's rebounding, including 5 orebs, were nice.
I've been refraining from saying anything about Font this season because I've been afraid of jinxing him. Lol.

I think the lineup was great.
Kessler has not enough touches when he plays with Clarkson, Collins and Lauri, so Olynyk and THT are looking for him.
Props to Fontecchio to fight all around. We need to mix deffense with offense, and Omer and Fontecchio are all hustle. Collins tries to, so miximg them with Keyonte and Clarkson is cool. Same with Kessler, Olynyk and Agbaji with THT and Sexton.
The problem is with Lauri maybe this "ecosystem" will change, and Simone will be the odd guy.
2 games in a row with good deffense and ok offense (not great, but enough to win).

I have the feeling NO lost the game more than we actually won it but I’ll take it obviously…Good to see we can also win without Markannen and the team spirit is back.

The Jazz led from the start of the game and for most of it. The Pelicans never had more than a 3-point lead IIRC and even that only came in the 4th quarter. To the Jazz's credit, they actually won this one.

Missed the last couple of games, but nice to see them string a couple wins together.

Enjoyable game, regardless of the outcome. Of course its great the Jazz won, but I enjoyed the effort on both ends.
