Nov 19 Pre-Game Power Rankings
Written by Scrumtrulescent

We dropped quite a bit after the road trip but made up some ground after beating the Suns (who were ranked in the top 5 in every poll).  Only the FOX Sports rankings include that game, so take that into account when browsing the numbers.  We are SO close to having Deron back that I can taste it!

ESPN.com: 12  (-4)

FOX Sports.com: 5  (no change)

SI.com: 6  (-2)

NBA.com: 12  (-8)

USA Today: 9  (-6)

BLOGGERS: 6  (-3)

High: 5  Low: 12  Average: 8.3

The line for the game tonight is Jazz -9.5 and the over/under is 190.5.  Milwaukee is without Redd and is on the second half of a back-to-back (lost last night to the Nuggets).  The Jazz have won 7 in a row against the Bucks and the average margin of victory at home is 12.3.  No word on Deron or Memo yet, but I'll take the Jazz 104-93 and, obviously, the over.

Interesting stat:

This will be the bucks 6th back to back game. They are 3-2 on second games this season.

Not bad.

You realize when you say things like that you force me to do more research...

Bucks are 3-1 on the second half on back-to-backs after a loss. But those wins were @ Thunder, @ Knicks, and vs. Spurs (who were also on the second half of a BTB). Also, Redd played in the first 2 second half road wins, he's not playing tonight.

There are more numbers involved in the above post than there were in my final math exam....(keep in mind the last time I took math was my Sophomore Year of High School, but still.)
Either way, I am confused. I like the Jazz tonight I just hope they don't think it will be a cake walk. I'd love to see Memo tonight too. Hope they E.S.A. gives Bogut a good welcome back. Wish he was in a Jazz uniform.

There are about 22 different curse words going through my head right now. KNIGHT IS DOUBTFUL TONIGHThttp://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_11023145. Can't we get some kind of medical red-shirt where we don't have to play until we're healthy?

What the hell Jazz? Is this normal for other teams to see this much injury hit at the same?

Try being a Patriots and a Jazz fan. Next up, J-Slo or The Emperor will go down and be out 2-4 weeks. It's getting really, really old.
