Toronto has a healthy unit entering Friday’s game although Goran Dragic (personal) is not with the team.
What you need to know about the Jazz
Utah topped the Denver Nuggets, 115-109 on Wednesday as Bojan Bogdanovic dropped a double-double on 36 points and 13 boards. He was one of six Jazz players in double-figures, including Rudy Gay with 18 off the bench. The Jazz pushed their road winning streak to 10 games.
Utah will be severely shorthanded on Friday as Bogdanovic (finger), Donovan Mitchell (back), Mike Conley (knee), Rudy Gobert (protocols) and Joe Ingles (protocols) are out. Additionally, Gay (heel), Jordan Clarkson (back), Royce O’Neale (knee) and Hassan Whiteside (concussion) are questionable.
