The Utah Jazz (27-29) have slipped to 11th in the Western Conference, following a three-game losing streak. They faced a heavy defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves (143-118) in their last outing.
D’Angelo Russell’s departure had little to no effect on the Timberwolves as Anthony Edwards stepped up that night and produced a 31-point performance. Jaylen Nowell, who got a start came up with 30 points. Luka Garza contributed 25 points coming off the bench. Utah had no answer in front of such an offense as Collin Sexton could only shoot 22 points whereas Lauri Markkanen ended up with 21 points. They are now 5-5 in their last 10 games.
The team will now take on the Toronto Raptors (26-30), who are tenth in the East, on a three-game winning streak, and are coming off a win against the San Antonio Spurs (112-98) in their previous outing.
Pascal Sialkam simply ruled the court with 37 points including 10 rebounds and 7 assists. The majority of the players chipped in with double-digit performances. The team is still in the race for the playoffs as the regular season has entered a crucial stage.

The two teams are tied with five wins against each other. They have met each other only once this season and the Jazz came out on top in a high-scoring encounter (131-128).
However, they are currently on a poor run whereas the Raptors are riding high on confidence. They are also hosting the game which gives them a slight upper hand. Expect an entertaining game overall.
