SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A little bit of rhythm from Rodney Hood has the Utah Jazz playing more spirited tunes than they were over the weekend.
Getting back to the playoffs for the first time in five seasons will do that, too.
So would the return of their leading scorer.
Forward Gordon Hayward and his 21.3 points per game are questionable for Utah's game Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center. That's about the only downer news since the team cleared the air Monday after controversial comments by center Rudy Gobert about the inconsistency in effort from some of his teammates.
