The Jazz are down two key players vs the elite OKC Thunder.

Collin Sexton and Keyonte George of the slumping Utah Jazz take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren of the surging Oklahoma City Thunder. The Utah Jazz are 29-39 on the season and are 3-12 post all-star break. These last 15 games for the Jazz have seen several different lineups due to injury and giving the younger guys a chance to showcase their potential. The Jazz have been missing their star Lauri Markkanen the most, who played on Monday for the first time in a while but will not play tonight. The Thunder are 47-20 on the season and are in contention for the one seed in the Western Conference. They are 10-3 post all-star break and are being led by their MVP candidate, Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander. The Jazz are on the road tonight, making a tough matchup even more difficult. Despite their disappointing record as of late, the Jazz still are making several of their games competitive, so don’t expect the Jazz to go down without a fight tonight.
