The offense is led by Kevin Durant with 28.2 points and he grabs seven rebounds a game. Durant is expected to miss four games due to Covid. Kyrie Irving adds 26.8 points and he dishes out 6.3 assists.

Brooklyn has struggled on the defensive end of the court, and it could get a lot worse without Durant in the lineup. Irving will have to step on the offensive end as they will be at a big deficit without Durant and Dinwiddie in the lineup. The Jazz have had no problem on the defensive end, holding their opponents to 106.7 points a game. The Jazz defense will cause the shorthanded Nets problems on the offensive end and the Jazz offense will take advantage of a porous Nets defense that allows 118.6 points on their home floor.

Play on Utah.
