Reasoning
The Utah Jazz go into tonight’s visit to the Toronto Raptors with the news that Lauri Markkanen will be available for them. They will need his offensive contribution too considering that over the last 10 games they have been dead last in defensive rating. Jusuf Nurkic and Keyonte George are both listed as questionable and if they are available, it could go a long way to help them make up for those shortcomings. Over that same stretch of games, the visitors are also 4th in the league in pace. At the same time the Raptors are 2nd in the league in fast break points per game so should help set an incredibly fast tempo for this encounter.
The Raptors combined for 250 points in their last contest against the Magic and this could be set to be an equally high scoring encounter. The hosts will have plenty of opportunities to score tonight considering that no team has given up more fast break points over the last 10 games than the Jazz. The visitors should have issues slowing down Brandon Ingram too, with the forward having dropped 35 points in his last outing. They will not be helped by their lack of rim protection, averaging just 3.5 blocks per game as a team this season. In a fast back-and-forth game, expect these sides turn this into a high scoring encounter.
