Jazz Host High-Powered Bucks
The Utah Jazz play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at Vivint Arena on Friday evening.

The Jazz (35-37) hope to bounce back from a loss in their last outing and add to their, 22-14, home record as they face the fourth and final game of a home stand. Unfortunately, they continue to deal with injury trouble, as Jordan Clarkson (finger), Rudy Gay (back), Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Collin Sexton (hamstring) are listed as questionable for action. Kelly Olynyk continues to play well, averaging 12.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists, while Walker Kessler averages 8.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. Kris Dunn has also been playing well lately, averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals over the last 10 games.

Meanwhile, the Bucks (52-20) have won four of their last five games and look to keep the momentum going as they kick off a four-game road trip with a chance to build on their, 22-13, road record. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the team, averaging 31.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Jrue Holiday averages 19.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.2 steals, while Brook Lopez is averaging 15.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. The Bucks average 116.4 points per game, and they hold opponents to an average of 112.1 points, which is fifth fewest in the league.
