The Jazz, on the other hand, are coming off their most lopsided loss since they moved to Salt Lake City. The Charlotte Hornets defeated them 155-95 on Saturday. Utah didn’t have Lauri Markannen, and he’s expected to play on Monday. That should help. But you can’t say a team is in a good place when they lose by 55 points to the Hornets at home.

The Cavs are approaching the halfway point of the 82-game regular season. They carried a 21-18 record into Saturday’s game against Minnesota. That projects to a 43-38 final record. At the moment, they rank eighth in the East.

Spurs 100, Celtics 95: In a tight contest where neither team led by double-digits, Wemby (21 pts, 6 reb, 3 blk) and the Spurs held the C’s to a season-low 95 points and made their move in the final 4:26 with a 16-6 closeout, fueled by seven of Keldon Johnson’s 18 points. | Recap
