The Utah Jazz (7-15) are facing off against the Oklahoma City Thunder (14-7) tonight at Paycom Center. After dropping their previous game against the Los Angeles Clipper last week, the Jazz look to get back on track in their first matchup against the emerging Thunder this season.
For the Jazz, tonight will mark another night without their All-Star Lauri Markkanen (hamstring). It goes without saying that Markkanen’s absence has kneecapped Utah’s offense, but over the last five games the struggles have magnified, with Utah failing to break the century mark three times. John Collins, who had his best offensive production in a Jazz jersey against the Clippers, has been listed as questionable on the injury report, meaning Utah could be without two of their top-three scorers on the night.
