The Brooklyn Nets are back in the win column at Barclays Center, ending a protracted home-court losing streak via Monday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets. Brooklyn will try to defend its nets again with dicey timing when the Utah Jazz visit for the Nets’ second tilt in two nights at 7:30 p.m. EST on Thursday. 

The Utah Jazz are ailing at 7-13 on the season, although Utah has won two of its last three games and produced a measure of revenge against the 13-5 Houston Rockets on the back end of a home-and-home series that began with a Jazz defeat. Utah’s youthful guard Keyonte George scored 28 points and had eight assists as the Jazz beat the Rockets 133-125 on Monday. Utah shot 40.0% from downtown. 

Can the 13th-place Nets keep up with a Jazz team that’s getting better? National Basketball Association oddsmakers seem to think so, taking just a few points away from visiting Utah on Thursday’s spread.

The Brooklyn Nets got off to a hot start and didn’t look back in Wednesday’s road win in Chicago. Nets forward Michael Porter Jr.’s 16 points scored in the first 19 minutes at least doubled every player on the Bulls’ stat sheet. Porter Jr. ended the 113-103 victory with 33 points. The Nets shot 48.7% from the field. 

It’s iffy whether the Nets will have enough gas in the tank to win their third straight, performing on little rest after a quick commute to New York. Then again, the Jazz are struggling to score the ball often enough for management to consider doing something drastic. A “trade (for) Giannis Antetokounmpo might happen,” says James Hansen of SLC Dunk. “Obviously, (the trade) would also take all of Utah’s (draft) picks.”

Lauri Markkanen of the Jazz is no Greek Freak, but he’s coming off a nice game against Houston. Look for the Jazz to try to grind down the Brooklyn Nets in the paint, producing an under-total-points result.
