Thunder Set To Make Restart Debut
The Utah Jazz play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday at Orlando.

This marks the first game of the restart for the Thunder, while the Jazz made their debut on Thursday, where they topped the Pelicans in an exciting contest.

Six players scored in double digits, including three who topped 20 points for the Jazz in their win on Thursday. The game went right down to the wire, where Rudy Gobert came up clutch, going 2-of-2 at the foul line, to seal the win. Gobert finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks, in the contest, while Jordan Clarkson was the high-point man for Utah, with 23 points, on 8-of-17 shooting, in 32 minutes off the bench. Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley added 20 points each. The Jazz looked good overall, in the win, but can definitely improve their efficiency, as they shot 44 percent from the field, including 8-of-34 from long range. They also tallied only 17 assists, compared to their season average of 22 assists per game.

Meanwhile, the Thunder are set to resume what was a very impressive season before the stoppage, as they entered the bubble holding the fifth spot in the West. Chris Paul had been fantastic early in the season and was leading the young team, while averaging 17.7 points, 6.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was having an amazing season, as well, and definitely took a massive step in his development as a young player, as he was leading the Thunder with an average of 19.3 points per game. Dennis Schroder gives the Thunder a huge boost off the bench and played a big part in the success of the group, as he was averaging 19.0 points, 4.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds, in 31 minutes per game.
