Jazz Desperate to End 7-Game Skid When Raptors Come to Town

The Utah Jazz will look to snap a seven-game losing streak when they host the Toronto Raptors on Friday night in Salt Lake City. Despite their struggles, the Jazz showed resilience in their latest outing and will aim to build on that effort.

Utah’s Struggles Continue

On Wednesday, the Jazz fought back from a 19-point deficit against the Memphis Grizzlies, briefly taking the lead late before ultimately falling 122-115. Collin Sexton and John Collins each scored 22 points in the loss, but Utah’s 23 turnovers proved costly.

“I thought our team competed really hard, but honestly, (Wednesday) was a night where the turnovers make it really hard for us,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. “The hardest part is the hard work that the team is doing in all the other categories of the game gets wiped away.”

Despite their struggles, the Jazz remain competitive in most games. However, their 15-51 record officially makes them the only team eliminated from playoff contention, shifting focus toward player development and a high pick in the upcoming draft.

Raptors on the Rise

Toronto has won five of its last six games, including a 118-105 victory over the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. A.J. Lawson led the way with 28 points, while Jared Rhoden had a career-best performance with 25 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and four steals.

“It felt really good,” Rhoden said. “It’s just a testament to the hard work I’ve put in to have this moment. It’s really special, and I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to be here and show what I can do.”

Though the Raptors sit at 23-43, they remain mathematically alive for postseason action. They’ll look to continue their strong play as they face the Jazz for the second time in a week.

Recent Meeting Between the Teams

Toronto defeated Utah 118-109 on March 8, fueled by a season-high 34 points from Immanuel Quickley, along with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists from Scottie Barnes. Despite Utah’s struggles, Walker Kessler delivered a monster game with 18 points, 25 rebounds, and eight blocks in the loss.

With both teams in different stages of their seasons—Utah looking ahead to the draft and Toronto pushing for a late playoff run—this matchup could provide another competitive battle.
