This is Utah's fourth straight loss, and eighth defeat in the last 10 contests. Falling to another NBA loss leader -- and a very shorthanded one -- in Toronto, Utah dropped their 11th straight game on the road, making the Jazz winless since January 5th in any arena outside the Delta Center.

Bleacher Report 's Grant Hughes had similar positive things to say about the Jazz's rookie class. When outlining a grade for each team's set of first-year players through the 2024 season, Hughes gave Utah a B based on what their young talent has shown up to this point, giving notable credit to Collier in the process.

Resting Saturday

Walker Kessler gathered 18 first-half rebounds against the Raptors, physically unmanning Toronto’s overmatched center rotation of Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton. Until late in the third quarter, Barnes mostly chilled out and took jumpers. And the Raptors led by 11 at half-time. It was unserious basketball all around.

Even without many key players, Toronto won a third straight game, this time 118-109 over the visiting Utah Jazz.

Guards Ja'Kobe Walter (hip flexor) and Immanuel Quickley (rest) have been ruled out, while star forward Scottie Barnes is questionable due to a hand contusion as the team gets set to take on the visiting Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors are coming off of wins over the Utah Jazz as they open a two-game series in Toronto on Saturday night.
