Even though there were many rumors about Rudy Fernandez being on the trading block, the Blazers have yet to move the Spanish guard-forward. In fact, Fernandez has been pretty solid in the preseason thus far, putting up 15 points and 4 assists in limited minutes versus Portland last week. Likewise, recently acquired guard Wesley Matthews appears to be a great fit in Portland's offense and could earn some major minutes in the upcoming NBA campaign. Thus, the Portland Trail Blazers will host Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz in another preseason game at Rose Garden on Tuesday at 2 a.m. GMT.
Utah on the other hand is trying to integrate their off-season additions as the franchise is hoping to stay in the upper echelon of the Western Conference despite losing All-Star forward Carlos Boozer. That said, the recently acquired Al Jefferson looked out of synch at times in the first preseason week and has yet to find its rhythm in Utah's offense. One bright spot has been veteran guard Raja Bell who could turn out to be an excellent replacement for Kyle Korver. Similarly, ninth overall pick Gordon Hayward showed that he can play at both ends of the floor and could become a valuable scorer off the bench down the stretch. For the reasons mentioned above, the Blazers and Jazz could very well end up having another close game on Tuesday night.
