Only three more quarters stand between the Jazz and the win they were favored to collect coming into this evening. They have jumped out to a quick 33 26 lead against the Pacers. The Jazz entered the match having won five straight and they're just three quarters away from another. Will they make it six, or will the Pacers step up and spoil it? We'll know soon.
Indiana Pacers @ Utah Jazz Current Records: Indiana 23 16, Utah 21 20 The Pacers and the Jazz are an even 5 5 against one another since November of 2018, but not for long. Having just played yesterday, the Indiana Pacers will head out on the road to face off against the Utah Jazz at 9:00 p.m. ET on January 15th at Delta Center.
The Pacers are expected to lose this one by seven points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation. The Pacers unfortunately witnessed the end of their three game winning streak on Sunday. They took a 117 109 hit to the loss column at the hands of Denver. The Pacers have not had much luck with the Nuggets recently, as the team's come up short the last six times they've met.
Even though they lost, the Pacers were smashing the offensive glass and finished the game with 14 offensive rebounds. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as the Nuggets only pulled down four offensive rebounds. Meanwhile, the Jazz had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18 points), and they went ahead and made it five on Saturday.
They came out on top against Los Angeles by a score of 132 125. The win came about thanks to a strong surge starting at the 7:27 mark of the second quarter, when the Jazz were facing a 51 39 deficit. The Jazz's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Lauri Markkanen, who scored 29 points along with nine rebounds and five assists.
The team also got some help courtesy of Collin Sexton, who scored 27 points along with five assists. Indiana's defeat ended a four game streak of away wins and brought them to 23 16. As for Utah, their victory was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21 20. The Jazz are probably breathing a sigh of relief since Tyrese Haliburton is out with an injury to his hamstring.
The last time Haliburton took on the Jazz was back in November of 2023, where he dropped a double double on 16 points and 13 assists. His performance led Indiana to a 134 118 victory over Utah. Fans should be in for an exciting game on Monday as the two teams are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now.
