The Brooklyn Nets will look to get out of the funk that they're in when they host the visiting Utah Jazz to the Barclays Center at 7:30 pm ET.
Brooklyn entered this month 11-4 and tied with New York atop the Atlantic Division, but the Nets have dropped six of eight while allowing an average of 100.1 points -- an increase of nearly 10 per game.

Meanwhile, Utah is 4-10 on the road and opening a four-game trip against Eastern Conference teams, is trying to avoid an overall three-game skid following Saturday's 99-86 loss to Memphis. The Jazz wasted a 10-point halftime lead by shooting 3 for 20 in the third quarter as they were outscored 28-10 en route to falling to 9-2 at home.
