Jazz @ Blazers Preview

This is the first of four Blazer/Jazz matchups of this year. The Utah Jazz are playing back-to-back, losing to the Spurs earlier today (82-94). The Jazz are projected to start with their usual Starting 5, with Deron Williams, Raja Bell, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Milsap and Al Jefferson.

The Portland Trail Blazers are coming of a victory over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday Night (86-83). Brandon Roy will once again miss today's game due to his sore right knee. The projected starting 5 is the same as the past few games, with Andre Miller at PG, Wesley Matthews at SG, Nicolas Batum at SF, LaMarcus Aldridge at PF and Marcus Camby at C. Wes Matthews will be playing his former team for the first time this year, and Im sure he is pumped up to win the game. He has averaged 25 pts in the past two games, where he has started for B-Roy.
