    Key Matchup

    Raja Bell vs. Larry Hughes

    Larry Hughes is averaging over 20 PPG for the Wizards. He is also getting 5 APG, and is obviously a key part of the Wizards offense. Raja Bell, Utah's emotional leader, will have to do his best to pressure Hughes' passes and force him into bad shots. As well as doing this, Bell will have to do his bit to keep the Jazz focused and not let them give up.

    Prediction

    Wizards by 10.

    The starting lineup is changing often, but the results aren't changing. Ben Handlogten started at C vs. the Wizards, and has earned himself a second 10 day contract. Andrei Kirilenko played well, just 2 steals shy of a 5X5.
