Denver played last night and are still injured, so no excuses. It's an opportunity for the Jazz to break out of the slump.

The Jazz need to bring some defense tonight. Denver has big names Murray and Porter out, but Denver's starting lineup is comprised of Denver's top five scorers this season. This lineup is capable of putting up a lot of points.

Last night Denver had seven players score in double figures in a blowout win over the Lakers. Jokic had a triple double. Veteran Jeff Green scored 26 points on 14 fga. One of Denver's rookies, Bones Hyland, came off the bench to score 27 points on 15 fga with 10 rebs in a career best game. Denver has won seven of their last ten games.

I have no expectations for this one.

Jazz have let me down the last couple of games.

Well, Go Jazz!

I watched more effort in the deffensive end, but Gobert is the difference.
Clarkson was a big +/- but he was the one who was weaker in the deffensive end.

Winning at Denver is always a satisfaction.

In the five game stretch playing without Gobert, our opponents averaged 31 ppg on 21 FGA in Q4. With Gobert back in action last night, the Nuggets only managed 14 points on 23 FGA in Q4.
