A four-game road trip seemed to wear the Utah Jazz down. Their schedule, though, hasn’t been nearly as grueling as the Washington Wizards’. In danger of losing three straight for the second time this season, the Jazz return home Monday night to face a Wizards team that will continue a grueling stretch. Utah has lost back-to-back games for the first time since a season-worst three-game skid from Dec. 31-Jan. 4. After winning their previous four, the Jazz stumbled down the stretch of their trip. Despite shooting 57.9 percent from 3-point range, Utah lost 119-111 to Oklahoma City on Sunday night in a matchup of teams jockeying for playoff position in the Western Conference. The Jazz are in fourth place, one-half game ahead of the Thunder. Injuries certainly didn’t help Utah’s cause. Center Mehmet Okur and forward Andrei Kirilenko were missing from the starting lineup, and the pair are questionable for this game.
Okur was held out after playing a season-high 41 minutes in a 95-87 loss to Milwaukee on Friday night. Kirilenko left that game in the second half. Okur and Kirilenko are the team’s third- and fourth-leading scorers, respectively, combining for 25.0 points and 11.4 rebounds per game. Paul Millsap started for Okur and C.J. Miles took Kirilenko’s spot. Wesley Matthews, who has started 13 straight games since Ronnie Brewer was traded to Memphis on Feb. 18, is coming off an outstanding game. The undrafted rookie guard made six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 29 points. Matthews is shooting 56.0 percent from beyond the arc over his last 11 games. He poses a tough challenge for a perimeter defense on a team that has gotten little rest.
