Jazz Look To Bounce Back At Home
The Utah Jazz play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Vivint Arena on Tuesday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Jazz (40-14), as they are coming off a tough home loss against the Wizards. Despite the fact that they got out to a great start in the contest, the Jazz trailed by five points heading into halftime. They put up a fight early in the third but fell apart late in the quarter, to trail by 10, heading into the final frame. They did not give up and rallied all the way back to make it a two-point game, with 12 second to go, but they could not complete the comeback and fell short for their third loss in the last five games. Donovan Mitchell continued his stellar play, as he totaled 42 points, six assists, three rebounds and a steal, on Monday night, while Bojan Bogdanovic followed up with 33 points on 10-of-18 shooting, and Joe Ingles added 18 points, six assists, four rebounds and a block. Mike Conley (hamstring) did not play and remains questionable for action on Tuesday. The Jazz will look to get back on track and add to their impressive, 24-3, home record, as they get set to face the fourth game of a five-game home stand.

Meanwhile, the Thunder (20-33), have dropped nine of their last 10 games, including their last six in a row. They will look to get back on track and add to their, 11-14, road record. The Thunder remain without their leading scorer, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will be sidelined through Tuesday's action, while Aleksej Pokusevski (arm), who has been playing well lately, will also be sidelined. Luguentz Dort is averaging 12.6 points and 3.5 rebounds, while Darius Bazley is averaging 12.0 points and 7.5 rebounds. The Thunder are averaging 105.4 points per game, which is fourth fewest in the league, and they are shooting 44.6 percent from the field, which is also fourth worst in the league.
