Game Preview
The Toronto Raptors travel to Salt Lake City to go head to head with the Utah Jazz at the Vivint Smart Home Arena. Toronto fell to the Phoenix Suns last Monday while the Jazz beat the Dallas Mavericks at home last weekend. The Raptors and Jazz are both middle-of-the-pack teams in their respective conferences and are both 3-2 in their last 5 encounters. However, oddsmakers have the home team in Utah coming out on top in this match.
Micah Potter is still out for the Jazz tonight but the Raptors have Anunoby and Porter Jr. out. Other than that, both teams will field their offensive stars in Markkanen and Siakam tonight. In their last match against the Suns, Toronto held up nicely here and there but ultimately an explosive 4th quarter for Phoenix sunk the Raptors. With the Suns being a better ranked team than the Jazz and currently in better form as well, it may seem odd that the Raptors are underdogs tonight but the numbers pose a different angle.

Despite their position in the standings, the Jazz were actually heavy favorites in their latest encounter against the Mavericks. Lauri Markkanen has proven to be a force to be reckoned with and with his help, Utah created a 19 point lead at some point in the game, outclassing Dallas during the first half and allowing them to play slower during the second half while not giving up on the lead in the end.
Consistency may be the name of the game tonight. Toronto may not allow Utah to draw back as they did against Dallas but Utah has the tools to outclass Toronto despite their similar records and current trajectory. Stay tuned to learn what our experts have to say about this encounter as it may be a tricky one.
