Philadelphia 76ers vs. Utah Jazz news

Referencing Land of Basketball’s statistics, these teams have played one another 103 times during the regular season all-time. The Jazz are 56-47 versus the 76ers. Though, in the past three head-to-head meetings, Philadelphia is 2-1 against Utah. On Mar. 3, 2021, the last time these teams faced off, the 76ers won 131-123 at home in overtime. Additionally, Philadelphia is 6-4 versus Utah in the team’s previous 10 head-to-head contests.

Leading into tonight’s interconference matchup, Jazz forward Rudy Gay participated in his first full practice with the team on Monday. There is no timetable for his return, but basketball analysts are predicting that he could make his return by December. In the 2020-21 NBA season, with the Spurs, Gay averaged 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 63 games played.

Rudy Gay went through his first full practice with the Utah Jazz yesterday. Behind the scenes, though, Gay long ago became a part of the team, thanks in part to the curse-laden, trash talk-filled shooting sessions with Joe Ingles that Quin Snyder arranged. https://t.co/h5coolJvUN

Furthermore, last Saturday, in the 76ers’ 118-113 road loss versus the Pacers, forward Tobias Harris led his team in scoring, putting up 32 points in 35 minutes of action. Guard Tyrese Maxey contributed 24 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 43 minutes played as well. Despite outscoring Indiana 31 to 24 in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia was held to 25 points to start the game.

Upon further review of the box-score game statistics, the Sixers out-rebounded the Pacers 46 to 37. However, they were outscored 58 to 42 in the paint. After this loss, Philadelphia’s losing streak was extended to four games. Needless to say, they need Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid back. If Simmons is not going to play this season, general manager Elton Brand needs to trade the guard. Now, the Sixers are 4-2 away and 4-2 ATS away.

Additionally, in the Jazz’s 111-105 home loss against the Heat on Saturday, forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored a team-high 26 points in 28 minutes on the court. Jordan Clarkson had 25 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 32 minutes played, too. While Utah did outscore Miami 36 to 16 in the fourth quarter, they still lost by six points.

In the second and third quarters combined, the Heat scored 68 points. Not only did the Heat outscore the Jazz 50 to 36 in the paint, they were more accurate shooting-wise across the court. Utah shot 35-for-85 (41.2%) from the field and 17-for-53 (32.1%) from three-point range. The Jazz are now on a two-game losing streak, and they have lost five of their past 10 games. Utah is 4-2 at home and 3-3 ATS at home.

Projected starting lineup

76ers: PG Tyrese Maxey | SG Seth Curry | SF Furkan Korkmaz | PF Tobias Harris | C Andre Drummond

Jazz: PG Mike Conley | SG Donovan Mitchell | SF Bojan Bogdanovic | PF Royce O’Neale | C Rudy Gobert
