The Utah Jazz came up short just days ago in Sacramento, but welcome the Kings to Salt Lake City in what is sure to be a fun rematch.

The Jazz with Walker OFF allow 33% frequency and 69% efficiency at the rim. In wouldn’t be until late in the process they’d be held out. As great as it is to have 5-out lineups and Kelly Olynyk’s passing, if the Jazz want to win, they need to play Walker Kessler more. We should look for that group to get more run with minutes coming at the expense of Rudy Gay and Jarred Vanderbilt. With Walker ON the floor, the Jazz allow 28% frequency and 64% efficiency. In 11 minutes, that group only allowed 6 of 20 shots at the rim and still performed at an elite offensive level. Utah allowed Sacramento 38% frequency at the rim on 82% shooting. This has been a big weakness for the Jazz over the last several games. Over the last two weeks they are 2-5 with an even (0.0) point differential. Should be a fun game with the Jazz looking for some revenge. They’ve turned things around in big fashion thanks to surrounding high-level guard and center play in De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis with tremendous 3P shooting. Coming into tonight is a lot of buzz surrounding the team, especially Lauri Markkanen, Utah’s likely All-Star representative.

NBA Trade Rumors: The Utah Jazz may not make Mike Conley Jr. available ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. Is that a good or bad move?

It’s hard to envision what exactly the Jazz is thinking right now. If the Jazz is not ready to trade Conley, it’s hard to imagine them making any (selling) deals at next month’s trade deadline. So much so that there is some doubt about what the Jazz will end up doing leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline.

[@De’Aaron Fox](https://twitter.com/swipathefox)’s game-winner! Markkanen with 28 to lead the Jazz – [@Utah Jazz](https://twitter.com/utahjazz)Now back to the crib for a game against the @atlhawks on Wednesday. The Kings have outplayed the Jazz handily so far, but Utah is hanging around, which has to be uncomfortable for Sacramento –

Domantas Sabonis, playing with a broken right thumb, had 21 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists to help the Kings win for the third time in four games.

Kings: Sabonis made 17 straight field goals over the last two games against the Jazz until finally missing a shot in the second quarter. He's a really talented scorer and you can't press up too far into him or else he's going right by you, as we saw on the last play,'' Hardy said. I mean, that's when it gets to in the fourth quarter in a lot of NBA games. Markannen had 28 points, including a 15-for-15 performance from the line, and Jordan Clarkson added 24. ''Right from the moment it left my hand, it felt good. ''I was getting in a zone.

The Utah Jazz fell to the Sacramento Kings at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City as Lauri Markkanen's final shot was just late.

Those are the things they’re going to want to fix. But even before the final minutes, the Jazz players put themselves in a bad spot. Watching the Fox shot, I used a stopwatch to see how accurate I would be in stopping the clock. And it’s important to note here that humans are controlling the clock. This should have been a no-call, in my opinion. The Jazz have been in 25 such games this season and are 10-15 in them. But there should have actually been more time on the clock. “Disappointed in myself,” Markkanen said. I don’t think that this qualifies as a jumpball scenario. I ended up with 0.4 seconds on my first try and got to 0.45 seconds on my second try. Those are the things that the Jazz are going to focus on in the coming days. Lauri Markkanen had just made three much-needed free throws to tie the game 115-115.

The Utah Jazz lost for the fifth straight game falling to the Sacramento Kings 117-115 thanks to a last second shot from De'Aaron Fox.

After three the Jazz led the Kings 89-88. At the break, the Jazz trailed the Kings 60-51. The Jazz knocked down 5-13 from three in the quarter to erase a double-digit deficit. After one the Jazz trailed the Kings 35-23. The Jazz Fox led the Kings with 37 points while Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz with 28.

Lauri Markkanen's game-winning attempt was just late as the Utah Jazz lost to the Sacramento Kings at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.

- The Jazz were digging their way out of a hole all night long. But some missed shots in key moments were eventually too much for the Jazz to overcome. 30 of 30

Even though Gay is struggling, team productivity is high when he's the court. Plus coach Will Hardy may have another reason why he's giving the former San ...

The Jazz are eventually going to have to move on from Gay, whether that means including him in a trade before the Feb. “I think it’s time that Ochai finds some minutes,” Hardy said after the loss to the Kings. If Hardy decided to completely bench Gay to play Fontecchio or Agbaji, Gay might react the same way that he did when Snyder demoted him. But keeping the peace is sometimes the best option. If anything, he’d be used as salary filler in a trade or the Jazz would have to attach a draft pick to him in order to trade him. That equates to 15.5 points per 100 possessions better than when Gay is on the bench, which is exceptional. He racked up DNPs, played in garbage time or when other players were injured and then didn’t play a single minute in the playoffs. 9 trade deadline, or waiving him so that there’s not a locker room fallout. Even casual fans can see he’s slow defensively, he makes bad decisions on offense and that despite it all, he is still getting minutes ahead of He’s been helpful, has offered advice, direction and understanding. When you dig into some of Gay’s individual stats, it doesn’t help his case much. I get this question from opposing team beat reporters, from scouts and from inquiring minds on every level.
