It's common knowledge in Utah Jazz circles that Isaiah Collier became a new player in the month of February. Taking to heart the convoluted wisdom of the late Kobe Bryant, as the calendar turned, he was a different animal and the same beast.

The Utah Jazz have not seen much success this season. Currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a record of 15-46, Jazz fans are looking for any silver lining. Despite their struggles this year, rookie point guard Isaiah Collier has been a significant bright spot.

Washington is a long-tenured resident of this forsaken corner of the basketball world, and the current leader in the race for last place. Utah, in their third season in the apocalyptic zone of rebuilding, now has a chance to weaken the Wizards' stranglehold on the top lottery odds.

Utah comes into a matchup with Toronto after losing 10 straight road games. Friday's matchup is the first this season for the teams.

The Jazz sat nearly their whole squad in hopes of losing vs. Washington, the worst team in the NBA. Is Kyle Filipowski more of a 4 or a 5, and thoughts on Isaiah Collier's in-season development.

Since coming in as the 29th-overall pick in the 2024 draft, Collier has now almost certainly earned his spot as one of the ten first-year players to land on the All-Rookie teams at the season's end, and now has his place cemented in the Jazz's rebuild for the foreseeable future.

The Kings scored 50 points in the paint, knocked down 15 3-pointers (on 36 attempts), and shot 17-of-31 in the mid-range. Sacramento finished the game with seven players in double-figures and added 11 points from the free-throw line.

Utah fought valiantly while shorthanded on Sunday night in a seven-point loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, and that came on the heels of a huge win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. This team has covered the spread in six of its last eight and has done so in its previous two games played on the second night of a back-to-back.

Utah is looking to break its nine-game road losing streak with a victory against Washington. Wednesday's meeting is the first of the season between the two squads.
