The Utah Jazz are aiming for a rare feat on Monday night: back-to-back victories, something they’ve achieved only twice this season. Fresh off a 113-99 win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, the Jazz hope to secure another win when they host the Indiana Pacers in Salt Lake City.
However, this won’t be an easy task. Not only has Utah struggled more at home than on the road this year, but they also face one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Pacers enter this contest on a three-game winning streak and boast an impressive 11-2 record in 2025, propelling them to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference.
Indiana’s offense has been on fire, scoring at least 130 points in each game of their current winning streak. The Pacers have averaged nearly 31 assists per game in January and February, with point guard Tyrese Haliburton leading the charge at 8.7 assists per game.
Monday’s game kicks off a four-game road trip for the Pacers, who have six games remaining before the All-Star break. They come into this contest after a hard-fought 132-127 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Pascal Siakam contributed 20 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, while Andrew Nembhard added 19 points. Obi Toppin had 18 points and nine boards, and Haliburton dished out nine assists alongside his 17 points.
The Jazz also had a strong showing in their last game. Collin Sexton scored 22 points with eight assists, and John Collins netted 19 points as Utah snapped an eight-game losing streak and earned its fourth home win of the year. The Jazz limited Orlando to 33 percent shooting and just 22 percent from beyond the arc.
Winning consecutive games for the first time since early January would be a significant morale boost for Utah.
