*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday evening, January 19th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, January 20th.
Brooklyn Nets
Although Kevin Durant hasn’t been among the top three under consideration for MVP, how the Nets are performing without him provides arguably the best reason why he belongs in that conversation.
Since straining his MCL KD has missed the last four games, all of which Brooklyn lost and they’ve subsequently dropped from second to fourth in the East.
This is reminiscent of what happened last season when the Nets sat atop the East but plummeted down the ladder when Durant suffered an injury. This year, the thinking was with Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons they could survive KD missing games but so far that’s not proving true.
Stats
Additionally, Brooklyn allows 110.5 points per game ranking fifth best, and possesses the third-best opponent field goal percentage of 45.1%. So far, their perimeter defense is another story as foes shoot 36.2% from deep ranking 20th overall.
Also, on the positive side, Brooklyn scores 113.5 points per game (16th). Without Durant they’ve slid to second for field goal percentage, shooting 50.6%, and also rank second on the perimeter (38.4%).
Durant (MCL sprain) is out.
Utah Jazz
Lauri Markkanen returned to the court following a two-game absence due to a hip injury. He made an immediate impact registering a double-double of 34 points and 12 rebounds connecting on 6 of 8 from deep.
With the Clippers resting both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Jazz jumped on LA winning all the key categories including scoring in the paint (50 to 34) but also from behind the arc where they shot a blistering 52 percent (19 of 32).
Stats
On the positive side, Utah averages the third most points per game with 117.8 and ranks 13th for shooting efficiency from the field – 47.3% and from the perimeter averaging 36.4% from deep also ranking 13th.
Equally important, Jazz opponents score 116.6 points (23rd) shooting 47.9% from the field (23rd) and 35.7% from deep (13th).
Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is out indefinitely.

Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
Utah has the rest advantage and the Nets are reeling without KD. I like the Jazz to collect the win on their home court but I’ll take the points because the Nets are desperate so they should keep the score closer than the spread.
