What you need to know about the Jazz

Utah was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as it fell 115-110 to the Denver Nuggets. The top scorer for Utah was shooting guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker (27 points).

The Jazz were without their top three players in terms of minutes per game as Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley did not play, nor did their top reserve in Collin Sexton. All but Sexton (hamstring) will return on Tuesday with hopes of ending Utah's recent slide. After starting the year 10-3, the Jazz are just 5-11 over their last 16 games.

What you need to know about the Pelicans

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday New Orleans proved too difficult a challenge. New Orleans won 129-124 over the Suns in overtime. The Pelicans' success was spearheaded by the efforts of power forward Zion Williamson, who had 35 points in addition to eight boards, and point guard CJ McCollum, who had 29 points and seven assists.

New Orleans has the best record in the Western Conference thanks to a balanced team that ranks fifth in offensive efficiency and third in defensive efficiency. The Pelicans are second in the NBA with 8.9 steals per game as six different players are averaging at least one swipe per night. Brandon Ingram (toe) is out while Herbert Jones (ankle) is expected to return after missing the last five games.
