Utah Jazz at Milwaukee Bucks Game Thread: Can the Jazz stop the Alphabet?

The Utah Jazz finish their three game road trip with a flight up to Wisconsin to play the Milwaukee Bucks. The Jazz are not playing like themselves, and will have to dig deep to battle the Bucks, who surprisingly, have gone from the worst team in the league last season to an above .500 squad. (Who knew Jason Kidd can coach?) The injuries / absences for both teams seem pretty fair for both sides.

• No Larry Sanders. No Derrick Favors.
• No Kendall Marshall. No Alec Burks.
• No Jabari Parker. No Rodney Hood.

But Bucks will also be without Damien Inglis, but are more well rested from having not played since the 19th, and are at home. Should be pretty even, if you ask me.

Tonight's game will be fun, because it will be Brandon Knight and Jerryd Bayless going up against Trey Burke and Dante Exum. Our point guards should be better, but K+B are getting it done this year. I'd love to revisit this at a later date, but they will be who win (or lose) this game.

The Jazz are still too big inside with Rudy Gobert, Enes Kanter, and Trevor Booker (with Jeremy Evans off the bench); and the Bucks have all kinds of wing depth. That should cancel out.

Team Comparison:

Starting Lineups:

• PG: Trey Burke EDIT: Dante Exum is going to start! vs. Brandon Knight

Blah.
