Utah Jazz at Washington Wizards Game Preview

The Utah Jazz get back to it tonight with a game against the Washington Wizards. Both teams were supposed to play last month, but the weather changed that. This is a make-up game after both teams had a lot of time off, and made trades this deadline. The Wizards got Markieff Morris, and the Jazz picked up Shelvin Mack. Both guys will not be playing tonight. And both players were acquired via draft picks -- but the Phoenix Suns are also picking up Kris Humphries and DeJuan Blair. If anything, the Wizards aren't huge inside despite having Gortat, Nene, Porter, and Oubre. Utah needs to pound it inside as much as possible. I'm also "cray" enough to think the Jazz have better wings.
