 Utah Jazz (7-6)

Thunder-Jazz Preview

(AP) -- Even with a shortened bench, the Utah Jazz are playing their best basketball of the season.

The Jazz look for a season-high fourth straight victory Tuesday night, when they go for their fifth consecutive home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise.

With Kyle Korver (left knee), C.J. Miles (thumb), Matt Harpring (ankle/knee) yet to play a game, and with Ronnie Price spraining his left big toe Nov. 9 against New York, Utah (7-6) was again down to nine players Saturday when center Mehmet Okur missed his third straight game with flu-like symptoms. (MORE)
