The Utah Jazz have been red-hot since inserting Collin Sexton into the starting lineup, boasting an impressive 17-7 record during this stretch. The return of Lauri Markkanen has also played a pivotal role in the team's success. Notably, the Jazz have excelled against opponents with losing records, going 8-1 in their last nine games against such teams, including six wins on the road.

Tonight, the Jazz are set to face the struggling Brooklyn Nets, who currently sit below .500. The Nets' hopes of making a playoff run in the Eastern Conference have been dashed by a brutal 5-17 stretch. They have also struggled on their home court, losing five of their last seven games.

This presents a favorable matchup for the Jazz, as they have had no problems dispatching similar teams since their lineup changes. Collin Sexton, in particular, has stepped up his game during this stretch. He has been consistently hitting over 1.5 three-pointers in five of his last six games and eight of his last 10 games. Sexton has also been a scoring machine, averaging over 23 points per game and shooting an impressive 51% from beyond the arc on five attempts per game.

Though the Nets may welcome back Ben Simmons on Monday, potentially with a minutes restriction, Sexton is expected to remain mostly unaffected. Sports betting enthusiasts can expect an exciting matchup tonight, as the Jazz aim to extend their dominance over struggling teams while Sexton continues to shine.
