The Jazz don't look much like a team that wants to play, much less win, as the losses mount and the chances to get the better odds in the draft lottery, and a chance at the top pick (Cooper Flagg?), increase. Utah has lost seven straight and seventeen of eighteen, with recent losses by 26, 22, 29, 37, 36, and 38 points. Top two scorers Lauri Markkanen and John Collins are out, as are Jordan Clarkson and Walker Kessler. In all, four of the top six Jazz scorers are docked. Will Utah even show up tonight? The only question we have is if the Pacers are motivated to extend the margin, or maybe just can't help it. They're capable, having recently put 162 points on the Wizards, though Pascal Siakam might miss Friday. But Indiana is still motivated to keep winning and at least stay in the 4th East playoff slot, which would mean home edge in a first-round matchup (likely vs. Milwaukee or Detroit). Play Pacers
