Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Super Bowl
Utah will play the third game of a four-game road trip on Monday night in Indiana. The Jazz have lost four of their last five games, losing to the Knicks by six points on Saturday. Indiana has dropped eight of its last nine contests, including a 127-113 final at Washington its last time out.
Utah went through a strong stretch from the middle of January to the beginning of February, winning five out of seven games. The Jazz have not been able to maintain that success since then, losing four of their last five contests. They dropped three straight games to Atlanta, Dallas and Minnesota before beating Toronto by six points on Friday. Utah was unable to build on that win, losing at New York by six points on Saturday. The Jazz are on a four-game road trip that concludes at Memphis on Wednesday. They are in 11th place in the Western Conference and are a half-game back of the final play-in spot.
