KEY GAME INFORMATION
PORTLAND: LAST SEASON: 49-33, lost in first round.
COACH: Terry Stotts (seventh season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Damian Lillard (26.9 ppg), G CJ McCollum (21.4 ppg), F Al-Farouq Aminu (9.3 ppg), F Maurice Harkless, (6.5 ppg), C Jusuf Nurkic (14.3 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Ed Davis, G Shabazz Napier
KEY ADDITIONS: G Seth Curry PLAYER TO WATCH: Zach Collins. Now in his second year, the 7-footer out of Gonzaga appears poised for a breakout. He'll be watched after the departure of Davis, who was the spark off the bench for the Blazers last season. Davis was prized for his defense, and Collins seems to have the same impact. A plus was Collins' performance in the NBA Summer League.
OUTLOOK: The Trail Blazers have one of the best backcourts in the league with Lillard and McCollum, but they're up against a Western Conference field that includes the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, as well as the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers. The Blazers are likely still a playoff team, but they're in a crowded group sitting just below the sure-bets. Like last year, a lot will depend on how the core of Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic perform.
UTAH: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost in Western Conference semifinals
COACH: Quin Snyder (fifth season)
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Ricky Rubio (13.1 ppg), G Donovan Mitchell (20.5 ppg), F Joe Ingles (11.5 ppg), F Derrick Favors (12.3 ppg), C Rudy Gobert (13.5 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Jonas Jerebko
KEY ADDITIONS: G Grayson Allen PLAYER TO WATCH: Mitchell. His emergence keyed Utah's dominant run to close out the regular season a year ago. Can Mitchell continue to elevate his game in his sophomore NBA season? His rookie season exceeded all expectations as he carved an identity as an electrifying scorer. The Jazz benefited from his scoring punch late in games. Mitchell finished the season averaging 20.5 points while shooting 43.7 percent from the field.
OUTLOOK: Utah appeared headed for the lottery until putting together a dramatic turnaround over the final 35 games last season. With all of last season's key players back in place, the Jazz are counting on continuity and chemistry to help them become a serious postseason threat among Western Conference teams in 2018-19.
PREVIEW
Jazz roaring on defense as Blazers visit
 

It has taken a while longer than expected, but Utah has become the defensive monster everyone expected to see after the Jazz dominated on that end of the court last season.

During January, the Jazz lead the NBA with a 101.7 defensive rating. Utah is averaging 39.6 defensive rebounds, 7.0 steals, and 6.3 blocks per game. The Jazz are limiting opponents to a league best 9.7 second-chance points per game in January and just 10.8 fast-break points per game in the same stretch.

It's a major reason why Utah enters Monday's clash with the visiting Portland Trail Blazers riding a six-game winning streak.

"It starts on the defensive end and we're playing great defense as of late," Jazz forward Jae Crowder said. "We're all on the same page and communicating well."

Rudy Gobert, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, has keyed the defensive momentum with his own January surge. Gobert has averaged 20.0 rebounds per game in his last four contests. He has three consecutive games with at least 15 points and 15 rebounds.

Such dominance around the paint is making things easier on offense.

Utah showed as much in a 115-99 win over Cleveland on Friday -- a game in which the Jazz led by as many as 38 points in the third quarter. Utah shot 51.8 percent from the floor and finished with 60 points in the paint.

The Jazz created momentum from their stifling defense. The Jazz held Cleveland to 31 percent shooting through the first three quarters and forced a dozen turnovers in the first 36 minutes.

"It's the same team we were last year," guard Donovan Mitchell said. "The same team that came in and was aggressive on defense. That's what really leads us into transition and getting easy shots."

Portland understands quite well how tough it is to get going offensively when Utah is clicking defensively.

The Trail Blazers averaged just 93 points per game in a pair of December losses to their divisional rivals. They shot a combined 39.8 percent from the floor in those two games and averaged 13 turnovers.

Portland has done well since that time. The Trail Blazers have won nine of 13 since their Christmas Day loss in Salt Lake City and carry a two-game winning streak into Monday's rematch.

Offensive efficiency has played a big role in the current two-game streak. Portland committed just 11 total turnovers in victories over Cleveland on Wednesday and New Orleans on Friday, while averaging 128.5 points in those games.

"We've had stretches where we've had a lot of turnovers and it's been a problem," guard Damian Lillard said. "Now we're in a space where we're taking care of the ball. Our offense is reaping the benefit of that with more possessions and making higher percentage passes for higher percentage shots."

Lillard has been a driving force, making a bigger impact as a distributor during this run of success.

Lillard's scoring in January has dipped a bit. He is averaging 23.6 points per game this month, but his assist numbers have climbed to 7.6 per game after averaging just 5.3 per contest in December.

Monday's game carries postseason implications for both teams. Another victory for Utah will help the Jazz clinch the season series and give the Jazz a valuable tiebreaker over Portland.
