KEY GAME INFORMATION
MEMPHIS: LAST SEASON: 33-49, finished tied for 12th in Western Conference.
COACH: Taylor Jenkins (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F/C Jaren Jackson Jr. (13.8 ppg), G Ja Morant (rookie), C Jonas Valanciunas (15.6), G/F Dillon Brooks (7.5), F Jae Crowder (11.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Mike Conley, G Jevon Carter, G Delon Wright.
KEY ADDITIONS: Morant, G Grayson Allen, F Brandon Clarke, Crowder, G Marko Guduric, F Solomon Hill, G Tyus Jones, G/F Jon Konchar, G De'Anthony Melton, C Miles Plumlee.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Jackson is fully recovered from the bruised right quadriceps muscle that limited his rookie season to 58 games, and the No. 4 pick overall in 2018 has even grown a little bit. Morant played his way into the No. 2 draft pick overall in June, and now the 6-3 guard will get to showcase his speed, passing skills and court vision surrounded by players closer to his talent level than he did in college at Murray State. Valanciunas earned an extension from Memphis and now must prove he can keep producing double-doubles regularly.
OUTLOOK: Marc Gasol and Conley both are gone, and it's up to Jackson and Morant to lead this rebuilding process for Memphis after the Grizzlies revamped the roster as much as possible in one offseason. This season may not be pretty at times, but at least the Grizzlies have hope for the future based on a duo they hope will become big stars. The franchise just may have to wait a couple seasons or more for a return to the postseason.
UTAH: LAST SEASON: 50-32, lost 4-1 to Houston in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Quin Snyder (sixth season, 227-183).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Mike Conley (21.1 ppg), G Donovan Mitchell (23.8), F Bojan Bogdanovic. (18.0), F Joe Ingles (12.1), C Rudy Gobert (15.9)
KEY LOSSES: F/C Derrick Favors, G Ricky Rubio, F Jae Crowder, G Kyle Korver.
KEY ADDITIONS: Conley, Bogdanovic, F Jeff Green, C Ed Davis, G Emmanuel Mudiay.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Mitchell to see if he can emerge as a true All-Star this season. The third-year guard, who averaged at least 20 points in each of his first two seasons, won't have to shoulder as big of a load in creating the offense with Conley now sharing the backcourt. Gobert is a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and will anchor one of the league's best defenses again. He posted career-highs in points (15.9) and rebounds (12.9) per game a year ago. Bogdanovic adds a valuable shooter on the wing with Ingles that should give the Jazz an improved outside scoring punch. He shot a career-high 42.5 percent from 3-point range last season.
OUTLOOK: The Jazz are well positioned to take a step forward and become a Western Conference title contender. Conley gives Utah a veteran point guard who is a legit scoring threat in addition to a strong passer. Bogdanovic and Green will also shore up shooting and help Conley take away some of the pressure from Ingles and Mitchell to get it all done on offense. Utah's fortunes, ultimately, will rise and fall on the continued progression of the central star duo of Mitchell and Gobert. If the Jazz offense can catch up to the team's elite defense this season, few teams will be able hang with Utah as the season progresses.
PREVIEW
Jazz host Grizzlies looking to end losing streak
 

Jonas Valanciunas has been a dominating figure over his last three appearances for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The 6-foot-11 Lithuanian seeks a fourth straight stellar effort, and the Grizzlies attempt to win for just the second time in their past 10 games when they visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Valanciunas is averaging 28 points and 15.3 rebounds while making 34 of 51 field-goal attempts (66.7 percent) during the stretch.

After two strong outings to begin the span, he missed back-to-back contests due to flu-like symptoms. But the center didn't miss a beat when he returned Wednesday by scoring a season-high 32 points to go with 13 rebounds in a 106-99 road loss to the Chicago Bulls.

"I was doing everything that I can," Valanciunas said after recording his 12th double-double of the campaign. "We need some wins. We've got to pull some out."

Veteran forward Jae Crowder is playing with Valanciunas for the first time and likes what he sees and envisions that it will only get better.

"Obviously, we know he can score on the block," Crowder said after the Bulls game. "We got to get him touches early. Hopefully, it will open the court up if we can make some shots for him. We got to do a better job of that next game."

This is the third meeting of the season as the Grizzlies and Jazz split two November games in Memphis.

Mike Conley's return to town after playing 12 seasons with the Grizzlies was the overwhelming storyline but his play was largely underwhelming as he made just 8 of 32 from the field and averaged 11.5 points while being outplayed by Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant.

Morant (back) is likely to be sidelined for the latest encounter and there is a chance Conley won't play either. He is listed as a game-time decision due to a hamstring injury that caused him to miss Wednesday's 121-96 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Conley's absence was far from the only issue against the Lakers as Utah committed 20 turnovers and was outscored 32-5 on fast-break points. The loss was the third straight and fifth in six outings for the Jazz.

Utah has lost by 19 or more points three times during the dismal period.

"At the beginning of the year there was a determination and a focus defensively, and it showed," Utah coach Quin Snyder told reporters.

"More recently, we've allowed other things, whether it be a missed shot, perception of a bad call, a turnover -- everything is lingering. Our inability to get to the next play has hurt our defense."

Reserve big man Ed Davis told the Deseret News that struggling now is preferable to February, March or April. That said, the manner in which Utah is losing is more disturbing that the actual results.

"We're down because we want to be in a better position than we're in now with a 12-10 record, but we can't go back in the past," Davis told the newspaper. "We can just take it one game at a time. We've got a favorable stretch coming up with a lot of home games and games that we should win.

"We just got to take one game at a time and handle business (Saturday) and go from there."

Utah star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points against the Lakers, after averaging 18 during a three-game stretch in which he was just 19 of 57 (33.3 percent) from the field. Mitchell averaged 24.5 points in the two games against the Grizzlies.

Morant, who is missing his fourth straight game, isn't the only ailing Memphis player. Rookie forward Brandon Clarke (oblique) will miss his third consecutive game while forward Kyle Anderson (heel) will likely sit out for the fifth time in six games.
