The Utah Jazz are working on building good form towards the second half of the season in the Western Conference. With Chris Paul out of this game, we will no longer see a match up of the 2 point guards of the same draft.

Normally it has been CP3 who has been doing better in this match up, but tonight is the night for Deron Williams to show that its his turn. In addition Andrei Kirilenko, Kyle Korver and Paul Milsapp have come on their own showing that they can be a force to reckon with coming towards the close season.

The Hornets have been lacklustre since the absence of their All-Star point guard but have been having struggles from other players such as Okafor and West. Only Collinson as well as the old war-horse Peja Stojakovic have stepped up to the plate consistently knocking shots from down town to boost the scoring.

All in all without Paul to make the plays and leading the defense for the Hornets, it looks very likely that Jazz are going to have a good scoring evening tonight.
