Get ready for some NBA action as the red hot Utah Jazz take on the Brooklyn Nets for the first time in the 2020-2021 NBA season.
The Nets are coming in with back to back losses, their lastest of which came against the Washington Wizards 123-122. As a result, they have dropped to the 10th position in the East.
There's more bad news for Nets fans as their leading scorer, Kevin Durant, will be sitting this one out due to the league's Covid-19 health and safety protocols. On the bright side, the Nets are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league right now.
The Utah Jazz enter this contest with a two-game winning streak that has tied them for the second-best record in the West. The Jazz are being led by Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley, who are averaging 20 points per game.
Bojan Bogdanovic has the hot hand coming into this game as he dropped 28 points in 27 minutes in their last outing against the Spurs 130-109.
