Through 3 quarters
The Utah Jazz are just a quarter away from delivering the victory they expected to their fans. A win for both teams is still in possession, but they are 85-83 ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Point guard Jordan Clarkson has led Utah so far, as he has 20 points and four assists with four boards. Memphis shooting guard is relying on the performance of Desmond Ben, who has 21 points in addition to six rebounds.
The Grizzlies are accustomed to taking a lead in the fourth quarter lately, so we’ll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to know
After a few days of rest for both teams, the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies will meet at the Vivint Arena on April 5 at 9 pm ET. Utah are on the field to keep their three-game home winning streak alive.
It was a tough fight, but the Jazz had to settle for a 111-107 defeat against the Golden State Warriors last Saturday. Utah was ahead 58-45 at the end of the half but could not hold the lead. A silver lining for them was the game of point guard Mike Conley, who shot 5-for-11 from outside the arc and finished with 26 points, eight dime and five rebounds.
Memphis, meanwhile, won 122-114 against the Phoenix Suns last Friday. Memphis junior forward Dillon Brooks was one of the most active players in the squad, taking 30 points and seven assists.
Utah is the favorite with an expected 5.5-point win. Now may not be the best time to take Utah against the spread as they have come down to bet for the last seven consecutive games.
At the previous meeting of the teams in January, the Jazz came up short against the Grizzlies, falling 119-109. Maybe there will be more luck at home instead of on the streets of Utah? Check out the matchup and head back to CBS Sports for all the details.
