Minneapolis • Is it good luck? Or is it actually a bad thing that the Jazz have missed several of the opposing team’s top players on this road trip?
No Chris Paul in Houston. No Anthony Davis in New Orleans. No Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas. And now, the word came out Wednesday morning, no Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague in Minnesota.
It certainly hasn’t hurt Utah in the win-loss column, as they’re 3-0 on this trip so far, and their chances seem to have improved now tonight against the Wolves.
But it’s also deprived them of the opportunity to see how they fare against some of the best players in the league.
