Jazz have too much fire power. They should win this easily.

Valanciunas vs Gobert should be interesting
Best offensive rebounder in the game vs Defensive player of the year candidate

Ja/Dillon vs Mitchell/Conley/Clarkson/ingles

I am expecting a sweep but I'm leaning towards
Jazz in 5. I just have a feeling Ja will have a great Game 1 performance and steal game 1. Then, Jazz will backdoor sweep them.

Expecting nothing less than a Utah sweep

Best team in the league, no excuses this year

[Nike D'Antoni]

Memphis is losing Sunday in a blowout, they will be gassed. This is why I didn't like play-in.

You forgot O'Neale their best perimeter defender

Often the team with less rest wins game 1 because the other team has had too much time off. It can go both ways

Not lofty. You said yourself last night Utah will destroy the winner of Warriors/Grizzlies. We expect the same

Recap of the seasons match-ups. Defense wasn't great against Memphis but Memphis couldn't slow down the Jazz as they got swept.

Utah are heavy favourites, no excuses

Utah are heavy favourites, no excuses

Mitchell, Clarkson, Bojan and COTY are always an excuse

The game hasn't even started and this dude is damage controlling in case Memphis upset In game 1

winning a game isn't an upset especially in game 1 where anything could happen

[Xiao Yao You]

Ben Anderson: Donovan Mitchell is not listed on the @Utah Jazz injury report for tomorrow. So he’ll be back and ready to play. Ersan Ilyasova is listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness.

Ersan would be a loss if COTY was smart enough to play him

Game 1 is Sunday, May 23 at 9:30PM ET on TNT.
