    NBA: UTAH (6-2) at TORONTO (4-3)

    <h3>Jazz start eastern swing, face Raptors</h3>

    <div class="pre">Utah (6-2) at Toronto (4-3) 7:00 pm EST</div>

    TORONTO (Ticker) -- Carlos Boozer and the Jazz look for theirfifth straight victory when they take on the Toronto Raptors onWednesday.


    Utah won its fourth in a row, crushing the Sacramento Kings,117-93 on Monday. Boozer was the main catalyst, scoring 32points while hauling in 10 rebounds for the Jazz, who lead theNBA in scoring at 111.9 points per game.


    The 6-9 Boozer, who has seven double-doubles in his first eightgames, is averaging 26.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

    Now the Jazz begin a three-game eastern road swing by facing theRaptors, who they've beaten four straight times.


    Toronto has won two in a row, including a 101-71 destruction ofthe Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Reserve Carlos Delfino scored 16points and All-Star Chris Bosh added 14 and six rebounds forthe Raptors, who shot a season-high 55 percent from the field.

    However, Toronto has dropped two consecutive games at Air CanadaCentre and is shooting just 41 percent in three games here.

    This is going to be a tough one. I'm anxious to see how the Raps's D fairs against the best offense in the league.</p>

    I'm hoping to get a win here, since the Raps should take our home record seriously. Moon is going to be guarding, so hopefully we can get some good stops. I hope our offense is there tonight. Cuz you know, with the Raps after a blowout, you never know.</p>

    This is a tough matchup for us. Utah plays a tough, post-oriented offense that we struggle against and they'll most likely dominate us on the boards. We could really use another New Jersey/Chicago shooting night. Like Shooks, I think this should be a good gauge of where our D is at because its been hard so far to figure out how good it is (its been at both extremes). For continuity's sake, I'd go with the starting lineup that beat Chicago (Ford-AP-Moon-Bosh-Rasho). We need Nesterovic to step up more than ever tonight, because he's the only one capable of guarding Boozer (unless Bargs surprises me yet again).

    Good luck girl coming up soon.</p>

    I think Smitch is going to use Moon again. No reason to change Rasho but look for a quick Il Mago substitute.</p>

    I'm glad this is at home and not being played at Utah time.</p>
