The Miami Heat (23-22) visit the Utah Jazz (15-30) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Saturday, January 24, at the Delta Center.
The Heat and the Jazz meet for the first time this season. Utah is coming off a 126-109 defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, their fifth loss in the last six games. Their defense couldn't stop Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, who made 50.6% of their shots as a team.
On offense, the Jazz' scoring sputtered in the fourth quarter, scoring only 17 points in that stretch. This has been a huge problem for them all season long, with their abysmal defense and below average offense.
It also doesn't help that the Jazz are dealing with key injuries in their frontcourt, including Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, and Kevin Love. Jusuf Nurkic, who has been putting up excellent numbers recently, is also listed as day-to-day due to an illness.
As for the Heat, they've dropped their last game, 127-110 to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Heat are 8th in the Eastern Conference and have gone 8-15 on the road this season.
Still, the Heat's 8th-ranked defensive rating (113.5) could be an X-factor heading into Saturday's matchup against the Jazz.
