The Jazz made a pit-stop in Houston last week, pushing the Rockets to the wire despite playing with a depleted roster. While obviously a disappointing start to the season for Utah, the Jazz have had an opportunity to watch their young core of Darryn Peterson and Ace Bailey perform in elevated roles. Peterson, who struggled initially, has taken advantage of the moment, averaging 24.4 points per game on 60.9 TS% over the last five. There is no great consolation prize for horribly underperforming expectations, but Peterson's play is about as good as it gets.
The Spurs are a buzz saw right now. Victor Wembanyama leads their charge, averaging an astounding 28.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks per-game. Alongside him, the guard core of Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De'Arron Fox, and Devin Vassell provide an electric variety of 2nd-5th scoring options, accounting for nearly 60 of San Antonio's points per game as a group. It appears a post-Finals appearance hangover isn't in the fold for San Antonio.
Utah's injury report, as the case for this season, looks rough. Utah will be thin in the front court, missing Jaxson Hayes:
Where: The Delta Center – Salt Lake City, Utah
