On 5 and 6 January, the Jazz won back-to-back games on the road against Miami (13-100) and Orlando (105-96). However, Will Hardy's team then went on a run of defeats that has become a staple of the current championship run. First, at home, Utah missed Trae Young at the buzzer to lose 121-124 to Atlanta. The Jazz then allowed Miami to take revenge at home (92-97) before losing on the road to Phoenix (106-114).

Utah has won just nine of their 37 games since the start of the season. The Jazz are second from bottom in the Western Conference, ahead of New Orleans.

The Nets have a slightly better record than Utah, 13-25. However, Jordi Fernandez's team achieved that at the start of the championship, when they were playing well. If you look at their last 15 games, for example, Brooklyn has only won three and lost 12.

Coming into the game in Salt Lake City, the Nets had lost four in a row. They lost at home to Indiana (99-113), Philadelphia (94-123) and Detroit (98-113) before traveling to Colorado and losing to Denver (105-124).

The first game of the season series was played in New York on 22 December. Utah defeated Brooklyn 105-94.

The last championship rivals exchanged home wins. Brooklyn won 147-114, and Utah won 125-108.

Utah has fewer wins than Brooklyn, but the Western Conference has been more competitive than the Eastern Conference this season, and the Nets are almost unbeaten in the second quarter of the regular season, unlike the Jazz. We're backing Utah in this one, and we're not expecting an efficient game either - Brooklyn's main problem of late has been poor offensive efficiency.
