Utah Jazz

Utah's improved results are directly related to Lauri Markkanen's return from injury. With the Finnish big man, the Jazzmen have won 11 of their last 15 games and are back in the playoff race. The team is now 11th in the West, and just one win behind the top ten.

In the previous meeting, Utah took care of Milwaukee on the road. The Jazz unexpectedly destroyed the Bucks on the perimeter, making 20 three-pointers, and won 132:116. Utah's top scorer was Jordan Clarkson, who scored 21 points. Markkanen had the same 21 points and 14 rebounds.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets have played their last two games at home. In the first game, the team fell short against Orlando (120:122), but in the next game, they had no trouble taking down East-leading Detroit 131:114. Nikola Jokic made 16 assists but scored only 4 points. But Jamal Murray finished the game with 37 points for efficiency.

Denver is now 26-12 overall and third in the Western Conference behind Minnesota and Oklahoma.
