The Utah Jazz may have some lingering injuries, but that won’t change what they need to do to defeat the Brooklyn Nets. Fortunately for Utah, they are uniquely equipped to take advantage of Brooklyn’s biggest weaknesses.
It’s no secret that Brooklyn’s strength is in the opportunities created by their stars. However, Brooklyn’s weakness is when they are held to one shot, evidenced by their 4.9 assist, and 2.2 rebound disparity in losses.
All eyes will be on the Utah wing defenders to contain the perimeter and recover, as well as the big men to grab the rebound. So long as Utah aren’t drawn out due to lazy perimeter defending, they should come out with a victory.

Considering the day-to-day status of All-Star Donovan Mitchell, reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson eagerly steps up to make up for the star man’s absence. Against the Nets, his scoring will be needed to match the pace.
In his last game, a win over the LA Clippers, Clarkson put up 20 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals off the bench. He was a plus-27 off the bench, while playing a crucial role in Utah’s 41-14 point second quarter effort.
The Nets are an adept scoring team, so Clarkson’s ability to support Utah’s offence will be needed to spell the Jazz stars. He was decently efficient in his last game, shooting 8-17, but it was his contributions in other areas that opened up his scoring opportunities.
The Utah Jazz is a very responsible team on both ends of the court. Brooklyn will be hard-pressed to change Utah’s production. However the Jazz have shown weakness when forced into errors.
The Jazz’s offence is diverse, but they employ certain lineups that can be exploited. In losses, the Jazz commit 14.2 turnovers while shooting just 43.8% from the field. They are generally intelligent with their shot selection, so Brooklyn’s defence needs to be on point.
Owning a decent stable of paint protectors, the Nets merely need to be smart with their ball pressure to stop the Utah Jazz. It is easier said than done, considering Brooklyn rank in the bottom third of the NBA in turnovers forced.
SETH CURRY is putting on a SHOW‼️

The Brooklyn Nets welcomed Seth Curry back into the lineup, which helped them to victory in their last game. Despite missing three games, Curry returned as if he hadn’t missed a beat.
In a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Curry was fantastic on the offensive end. The Nets sharpshooter posted 27 points on 9 of 14 shooting from the field. He was dead on from three-point range, converting on 7 of 11 attempts from deep.
Against one of the best three-point defending teams in the NBA, Curry’s range will be crucial to the Nets’ chances at victory. If he can’t help punish the Jazz defence from range, Brooklyn will
struggle break them down from other areas.
