Utah has also faced setbacks, losing its last three contests, including a narrow 106-108 defeat to the Lakers.

Lauri Markkanen leads the Jazz in scoring at 29.9 points per game, supported by Keyonte George’s 22.8 points and 7.1 assists per game. Walker Kessler anchors the boards, averaging 10.8 rebounds per game.

Game time is set for 10:00 PM ET.
