    Key Matchup

    Andre Iguodala vs. Matt Harpring

    Iguodala is having a good rookie season so far, he's starting and contributing points, rebounds and steals. Harpring has been thrown into the starting spot due to Andrei Kirilenko's injury, Kirilenko is close to returning. Harpring is a swingman, who should look to use his experience to his advantage, because after the surgery his athleticism just wont be up there with Iguodala's.
    Iguodala should look to limit Harpring's scoring, Harpring needs to control the boards and play good D himself.

    Prediction

    The Jazz haven't won in a long time, and will be looking to take this one out, as they won the last meeting between the two teams. They're more than capable of winning, but must bring the right mentality, energy and play like they want to win. Allen Iverson went for 50 in the last meeting, Utah will have to do what they can to stop him from leading Philly to a W.
