D'Angelo Russell absolutely must rise to the challenge today of facing Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz. D'Angelo has been in a shooting slump this month with 38% from the field, 28% from 3PT land through 7 games, not good. Time for him to snap out of it, we need a big time game from him today and some floor leadership versus a Jazz team that is battling for playoff positioning in the West and is pretty good at home.
Russell needs to be efficient, mix up the threes with getting into the paint for the short jumpers, and keep the turnovers to 2 or less.
Also, Caris LeVert and Joe Harris need to step it up. They both have been inconsistent as of late as well, it all isn't on Russell.
Jarrett Allen needs to show some toughness today, he got bullied by Adams in our last contest, tonight it gets no easier as Gobert awaits.
Rodions Kurucs needs to continue to bring energy and good shooting. The Steal of the 2018 Draft has been shooting a blazing hot 47% from downtown this month to go along with 12ppg 5rpg. This is excellent production from the 20 year old. We'll need him tonight as well.
Not much else to say other than the Nets are +8.5 dogs in this contest, and I'm putting my money down on the Nets tonight. Lets go!!!
