The Jazz come into the game averaging 97.0 points per game while giving up 97.3 points per game. They rank 5th in the NBA in scoring defense, which has been slowly going up as they have been without Rudy Gobert due to injury. Offensively, Gordon Hayward is the team leader as he is averaging a team-high 18.7 points per game and 3.1 assists per game. The Jazz are currently 2nd in the Northwest Division, 6 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.
