For tonight’s game, Lauri Markkanen is confirmed to be out for the Utah Jazz tonight with a hamstring injury and Jordan Clarkson is questionable with a thigh injury. With two of their top scorers likely out, expect guys like John Collins, Collin Sexton, and Keyonte George to get a lot of shots up.
Things that caused us to lose the last time we played this team back in October was:
– Losing the Rebounding battle (36-45) and giving up 17 offensive rebounds
– Turnovers (16)
– Fastbreak points allowed (18)
– Missed free throws (went 22-28 in 2 point loss)
We actually shot a better FG% from the field and from 3 in that game so it’s just the other factors that lost us that game, not shot making. So the keys to success based off of this information will be to:
• Crash the glass
• Play mistake free basketball
• Continue to stagger Harden and Russ’s minutes so you get the best out of both of their playing styles, methodical and fast paced offense.
• Stay engaged on defense

There is absolutely no reason for this game to be even remotely close. Our C squad lineup better be playing by the start of the 4th.
Their best players are out? Uh oh… Trap game incoming lmao.
And most important step: do whatever un-voodoo magic we did last game to undo whatever curse we have on their floor (that apparently only works in the regular season)
I like what Russ been doing as a hustle guy but I really hope he can get more mins 25 hopefully. Mann hasn’t been shooting well at all.
