The Blazers are hoping to get the bad taste out of their mouth from their last loss against the Charlotte Hornets when the Utah Jazz come to the pacific northwest.

The Blazers led by as much as 19 points against the Hornets in their last matchup earlier in the week, but the Blazers could not finish the job as they fell to the visitors. It was a winnable game for the Blazers, but they fumbled in the fourth quarter, which has become a theme in recent games.

Portland will look to reverse its fortunes tonight, and it will have a good chance to do so against Utah. The Jazz are filled with injuries on the injury report, as several starters are going to be on the sidelines. The main players of note that are out are Jaren Jackson Jr., who is out for the year with a knee injury and former Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic, who is out for the season with nose surgery.

Utah will also be missing point guard Keyonte George, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, and All-Star forward Lauri Markkinen, who is out with a hip injury. With so many key players out for the Jazz, the Blazers have to take advantage and get this win while they can.
