"After a short two-game road trip that had the Miami Heat go 1-1, they are back home to host the Utah Jazz on the second night of a back-to-back. Miami is coming off a Super Bowl Sunday win over the tanking Washington Wizards and looking to secure a second straight victory for the first time in over two weeks. They are now at a 28-26 overall record as they matchup against another struggling team in the 16-37 and 13th seed Jazz."
"This recent trade deadline saw the Jazz make a surprising acquisition with former Memphis Grizzlies star Jarren Jackson Jr. Utah now has arguably the tallest frontcourt in the entire league with Jackson, and 7-footers Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic. This would be a perfect matchup for coach Erik Spoelstra to hopefully match the size with extended Bam Adebayo-Kel'el Ware minutes again."
Miami returns home after a 1-1, two-game road trip and faces Utah on the second night of a back-to-back. Miami won over Washington and seeks a second straight victory for the first time in over two weeks. Miami's record is 28-26 while Utah sits 16-37 and has lost eight of its last ten. Utah acquired Jarren Jackson Jr. and now fields an unusually tall frontcourt with Jackson, Lauri Markkanen, and Jusuf Nurkic. Miami used extended Bam Adebayo–Kel'el Ware minutes successfully in Washington, with Adebayo scoring 22 and Ware posting 19 and 14 in 30 minutes. Norman Powell's availability is questionable after back pain and Pelle Larsson remains sidelined with an elbow contusion.
