The Utah Jazz (10-17) are headed to Denver to take on the Nuggets (20-7) at Ball Arena. This game kicks off the first night of a back-to-back, with the Jazz flying back to Salt Lake City tomorrow to take on the Memphis Grizzlies.

Kevin Love, in his first year with the team after joining aboard via trade earlier this summer, has seen those strides come to fruition firsthand after spending every day in the facility; being a veteran mentor for Utah's budding core, and having seen what real success in the league looks like after 18 years of experience.

As of Thursday night, the Jazz have a 6% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick and an 81% chance of not getting a top-three pick. What’s probably worse is that the Jazz have a nearly 40% chance of losing their pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Utah Jazz team chaplain Pastor Corey Hodges felt deeply for the players that he would be providing ministry to on Saturday night. At the Orlando Magic shootaround earlier in the day in Salt Lake City, the players learned that Magic team chaplain Eddie Cole passed away at his home in Florida that morning.

In a small two-game sample size against the Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers, Isaiah Collier has been able to offer a huge spark for the Jazz's offense as their lead guard in the second unit, and is showing major strides in his development as a young floor general.

The Utah Jazz team has youth and veterans a plenty. Kevin Love showed on Friday night that he may in fact still have some left in the tank.

Desmond Bane scored 32 points, including the winning layup with 0.9 seconds left in overtime, to help the Orlando Magic edge the Utah Jazz 128-127.

With 4.1 seconds left in an overtime thriller that had the Delta Center crowd on its feet, Keyonte George pump-faked Anthony Black into the air, drew a foul and hit a 3-pointer that tied the game at 126. He then hit the ensuing foul shot and gave the Jazz a one-point lead.

Lauri Markkanen is once again up in the air for this one, being deemed questionable with his lingering groin injury, an issue that has kept him out for the Jazz's past two showings against the Los Angeles Lakers and their latest game against the Orlando Magic.

Luka Doncic had 45 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds in his fifth triple-double of the season, and the Los Angeles Lakers used a big fourth quarter to top the Utah Jazz 143-135 on Thursday night.
