Smart Game Analysis
Toronto Raptors has a 78% chance of winning the game
The Raptors are poised to snap their mini-skid at home against a depleted Jazz team that possesses the league's worst defense.
Key Analysis
- • Utah's rim protection is severely compromised with starting center Walker Kessler confirmed out and backup Jusuf Nurkic questionable.
- • The Jazz rank dead last in the NBA in defensive rating (123.9) and points allowed per game (127.8).
- • Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram have a massive advantage against a Utah squad that has lost eight of its last nine road games.
- • Utah's offensive rotation is in jeopardy with second-leading scorer Keyonte George questionable due to an ankle sprain.
- • The Jazz play at the third-fastest pace in the league, which will likely fuel Toronto's efficient transition offense.
- • Utah must shoot an abnormally high percentage from three-point range to remain competitive given their inability to get stops.
