Toumani

This is a solid matchup against UTA for his specific play style. The Jazz play fast (3rd in pace) and have the worst defensive rating in the league (30th). He generates 60% of his offense from spot ups (38%) and transition (22%). UTA ranks dead last (30th) defending both of those exact play types. He also takes 53% of his shots via catch and shoot (C&S) and 48% from above the break...areas where the Jazz once again rank dead last (30th). They are a complete funnel for his exact shot profile, and overall rank 29th against his position. When filtering for faster paced matchups and weak perimeter defenses, Toumani is smashing this number, clearing 12.5 in 13 of his last 16 games (81% hit rate) while averaging 15.1 pts. We've seen similar wings like Herb Jones and Jaylen Wells exploit these same defensive leaks against UTA recently to go over their totals.
