UTA vs TOR Dream11: Two teams who are slated to bring contrasting returns will see each other in this match-up. The Utah Jazz will host the Toronto Raptors in this cross-conference battle. Jazz has won most of their games and looks in fine touch while the Raptors enter the contest with a losing record but has shown some promising signs.

The Jazz has returned with the same core as last season. With Mitchell at the helm from outside and Gobert doing the damage in the paint, the team possesses a perimeter shooter in Bojan Bogdanovic at wing while Clarkson revs the engine of the bench. Royce O’Neale at the big Forward makes for a superb defensive player.

Raptors acquired Scottie Barnes through the draft this season and he has been producing at a high clip. OG Anunboy has elevated his offensive game while Gary Trent and Fred VanVleet combine for a sturdy scoring backcourt. Pascal Siakam has given semblance to the Center position while Precious Achiuwa has been big off an otherwise thin bench.

Host: Utah Jazz

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Jazz: Can they reach the promised land?
With their elite shooting combined with superb paint production, Utah boasts of a meticulously built unit. The team is top-six in scoring, scrapping around 110 points per game while also having a top-five defense that restricts opponents to around 102 only. Jazz is top five in limiting opponents’ rebounds, restricting them to around 42. Jazz is top-five in hoarding rebounds and pulling down 47.3 per game. That is all fine but can they finally make a deep postseason run?

Raptors have some issues on offense

Toronto has been doing well on the defensive end, restricting opponents to around 105 points per game but their offense has not created a gulf so far as the team ends up scoring around 106 per game. The team also figures in the bottom ten or so in terms of rebounding, bringing down around 45 boards per game. Can the Toronto outfit produce a more efficient offense in the future?
