The Utah Jazz (36 - 42) defeated the Sacramento Kings (27 - 51) 103 - 91 on Wednesday in Salt Lake City. Derrick Favors led the way for the Jazz, recording a double - double of 18 points (9 - 13 FG) and 11 rebounds in just 22 minutes. The double - double is Favors' first over his last six games. Rudy Gobert also posted a double - double, putting up 12 points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes. Rodney Hood continues to impress as of late, and Wednesday night was no different, as he scored a game - high of 20 points (7 - 14 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt) and grabbed eight rebounds in 33 minutes. Dante Exum was also able to make a solid contribution offensively, shooting 4 - of - 10 from the field (4 - 9 3Pt) en route to 12 points in 33 minutes. Gordon Hayward struggled mightily, scoring just four points in 20 minutes, but it ended up not having a significant impact on Utah's team performance. Off the bench, Trey Burke scored 11 points in 21 minutes, while Joe Ingles' 10 points rounds out the six Jazz players in double figures. The Kings were without DeMarcus Cousins (foot) and Rudy Gay (head) Wednesday, and considering those are their two best offensive players, they did not have as bad of an effort as they could have. Carl Landry and Jason Thompson got the start in place of Gay and Cousins, and both had solid performances. Landry finished with 16 points on 6 - of - 11 shooting in 35 minutes, while Thompson posted a double - double of 12 points (5 - 13 FG) and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Omri Casspi and Ben McLemore each scored 16 points in defeat and combined to shoot 10 - of - 21 from the field. Derrick Williams was the only other Kings' player to score in double figures, scoring 14 points (5 - 1 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt), grabbing five rebounds and recording three steals in 29 minutes off the bench. Both teams are well out of playoff contention, but up next, the Jazz will take on the Grizzlies at home on Saturday, while the Kings will travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder on Saturday.
