In their most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, Clarkson showcased his skills with an impressive performance. He scored 24 points and dished out 8 assists, leading his team to victory. Clarkson's offensive prowess was on full display as he shot 41 percent from the field and made 56 percent of his two-point attempts. His ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates was a key factor in the Jazz's success.


But Clarkson isn't the only player making waves for the Utah Jazz. Lauri Markkanen has also been a force to be reckoned with, averaging 20 points per game over the past three matchups. His shooting percentage has been outstanding, with a field goal percentage of 80 percent and a two-point percentage of 100 percent. Markkanen's contributions on both ends of the court have been instrumental in keeping the Jazz competitive.


On the other side of the court, the New Orleans Pelicans have some standout players of their own. Zion Williamson has been a dominant force, averaging an impressive 23 points and 11 rebounds per game in their previous matchups. His ability to attack the rim and finish strong makes him a formidable opponent for any team.


Brandon Ingram has also been a consistent contributor for the Pelicans, averaging 19 points per game over their last three outings. His versatility on offense and ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc make him a valuable asset for his team.


As we look ahead to the upcoming game, it's clear that both teams have players who can make a significant impact. The Jazz will rely on Clarkson and Markkanen to continue their strong performances, while the Pelicans will look to Williamson and Ingram to lead the charge.


The game is scheduled for December 28th at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Fans can catch all the action on BSNO and KJZZ. It's sure to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams vying for a victory.
