The Grizz are just a bad matchup for Utah in my opinion. Utah definitely has the size to hang with them down low but in an earlier game this year Marvin Williams really went after Gay and defended him well. I expect Gay to be sharp after he missed that game tying 3 last night. Randolph didn't get too many touches either and he is a big mismatch for Milsap. Corbin will have to tweak his lineup in-game tonight to adjust because I really don't see Milsap being able to hold his ground down low. Jefferson is a beast but Gasol is a solid post defender and Gasol always gets up for these matchups when he's playing an elite Center. Bayless should be able to work Watson off the dribble, and Ellington Pondexter should play well because other than Hayward, Utah doesn't really have any g/sfs that can do damage. Favors and Kantor are big guys off the bench and imo they are going to have to have big games on the glass for Utah to win this game.
