Miami Heat @ Utah Jazz

Utah looks for a reset at home

The 1–9 Jazz return home after a 0–4 road trip seeking to end an eight-game skid; Will Hardy called the stretch tough with a lot of injuries.

Markkanen remains a key availability question

Lauri Markkanen is questionable with a right wrist sprain after missing Sunday’s game.

George’s absence shifts Utah’s guard duties

Keyonte George is out with a right ankle sprain, while Darryn Peterson is trending toward becoming one of Utah’s best players quickly. Isaiah Collier has recently been outside Utah’s rotation.

Giannis is expected to be available

Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable with a right wrist sprain and is the only Heat player on Tuesday’s injury report.

Three-point matchup could be pivotal

Utah has made 32.1% of its threes this season, and the Jazz need those looks to fall to loosen Miami’s defense.

Miami’s pressure can fuel transition

Miami’s pressure can fuel transition, but Erik Spoelstra said the Heat’s defense has been poor to start the season and must be built day after day.
