What to Know

This Sunday, the Utah Jazz are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.86 points per matchup. They will hit the road for the third straight game as they head to Barclays Center at 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday. The Brooklyn Nets will be strutting in after a win while the Jazz will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Utah came up short against the Boston Celtics this past Friday, falling 122-114. Utah's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of center Walker Kessler, who posted a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds in addition to three blocks, and small forward Talen Horton-Tucker, who had 28 points and seven assists along with eight boards.

Meanwhile, the Nets strolled past the Atlanta Hawks with points to spare this past Friday, taking the game 124-107. Small forward Mikal Bridges continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, shooting 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and finishing with 42 points.

Utah is expected to lose this next one by 9. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 24-9 against the spread when expected to lose.

Utah ended up a good deal behind Brooklyn when they played in the teams' previous meeting in January, losing 117-106. Can the Jazz avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
