Utah averaging 96.0 (23rd) vs. Memphis allowing 96.1 (1st)
Memphis averaging 101.3 ( tied 11th) vs. Utah allowing 98.5 ( tied 11th)

Rebounding: Memphis has a +0.6 rebounding differential, Utah has a +3.6 rebounding differential which is 2nd in the league.
Most confusing thing about the Jazz: They have 2 guards, one name Alec Burks and the other named Trey Burke. Pretty easy to tell apart but easy to get their names messed up.
