What you need to know about the Jazz
Meanwhile, the Jazz's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They took a 126-120 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Miami Heat. Lauri Markkanen scored 25 points with six assists and two steals in the loss, while Keyonte George scored 31 points.
Jordan Clarkson (illness) and Walker Kessler (foot) were both held out of Saturday's loss. Kessler has already been ruled out for Monday's action, as has Markkanen (quadriceps), while Clarkson is currently questionable. The shorthanded Jazz will likely need another big night from George to pick up the slack offensively against Washington. See which team to pick here.
