The struggling Utah Jazz (16-56) welcome the Memphis Grizzlies (43-28) to Delta Center on Tuesday night in what could be a lopsided affair, with the visitors looking to complete a season sweep after winning all three previous matchups.

Memphis brings their league-best scoring offense (122.1 points per game) against Utah's second-worst defensive unit, though the Grizzlies' recent three-game skid and the potential absence of several key players including Brandon Clarke and Ja Morant could level the playing field.

The Jazz, playing without stars Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson, will need rookie Kyle Filipowski to build on his recent double-double performance if they hope to protect their home court against a Grizzlies team that's dominated this matchup lately.

Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies preview

The struggling Utah Jazz host the Memphis Grizzlies at Delta Center in what's shaping up to be a tale of two very different seasons.

Memphis, despite their recent road woes and a three-game skid, has been lighting up scoreboards with 122.1 points per game, though they'll be missing their usual spark without Ja Morant in the lineup.

Jaren Jackson Jr. has stepped up as Memphis' go-to scorer, coming off a solid 23-point performance against the Clippers, while the Jazz will lean heavily on rookie Kyle Filipowski, who's finding his groove with an 18-point, 13-rebound double-double in their last outing.

The Jazz's defensive troubles have been a real headache this season - they're giving up nearly 120 points per game at home and sitting second-to-last in defensive efficiency.

Memphis has had Utah's number this season, sweeping all three previous matchups, and they're running the league's fastest-paced offense at 107.1 possessions per game.

The Grizzlies' offensive rebounding could be the x-factor, as they're snagging over 13 boards per game on that end, which could spell trouble for a Jazz team that's already struggling to get stops.

With the Jazz missing key pieces like Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson questionable with a foot issue, their already thin roster faces an uphill battle against Memphis' high-octane offense.

This cross-conference matchup at Delta Center might not be the prettiest basketball we'll see, but it should deliver plenty of scoring with both teams pushing the pace.
