Tonight the Utah Jazz (16-10) host the not completely down, but most certainly already out Dallas Mavericks (6-19). Dallas is the worst team in the Western Conference and have tied for worst in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers. Tonight will also be another opportunity for Deron Williams to play in front of the fans who were his most ardent supporters for year — Utah Jazz fans.
Deron was drafted #3 in the 2005 NBA Draft by Utah — after they had moved up pre-draft to secure a Top 3 selection.
