After a two-day break, the Utah Jazz are looking to etch another win on the season Thursday as they continue their road trip to take on the Portland Trail Blazers.
Similarly to the Jazz, the Blazers have gotten off to a rocky start for their 2024-25 campaign. They've collected a 9-20 record to place 13th in the Western Conference, right above the 7-21 Jazz.
The Jazz and Trail Blazers played once earlier in the month of December, where that contest went well within Utah's favor. The Jazz exploded for a 141-99 victory on the road, and will attempt to replicate that stellar showing for their second meeting of the season.
Utah will have some injury questions heading into tip off, with John Collins and Keyonte George's status being up in the air. As for the Blazers, big man Robert Williams III looks to have the same questionable status.
With that, here's everything you need to know ahead of the Jazz's Thursday bout vs. the Trail Blazers.
