The Jazz have won 10 straight road victories and own the second-best record in the NBA at 28-10.

Yet the Jazz find themselves double-digit road underdogs to the Raptors. Huh? What gives?

Hint: It's not just because the Raptors have won four in a row and are back to full strength. The Jazz are decimated heading into this game.

Among those out for Utah are Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley and Joe Ingles. The Jazz could be missing others.

Injuries and COVID. Welcome to NBA 2022.

The Raptors should take this game seriously, too, playing with revenge for a November loss to Utah and being off the next day.
