The Utah Jazz play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at the Vivint Arena on Friday night.

The Bucks are shorthanded for this one as Khris Middleton, Goran Dragic and Jae Crowder are all out, while the Jazz have ruled out Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, Rudy Gay and Lauri Markkanen.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been in superb shape as they’ve won seven of their past nine games and they will be looking for a third straight win after beating the Spurs 130-94 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in decent form as they’ve won four of their past six games, but they will be looking to bounce back after Wednesday’s 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Both teams are missing some players, but given the number of key players the Jazz are missing, there’s no doubt the Bucks have a huge depth advantage.
