Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: preview, start time, channel

The Utah Jazz will take on the Golden State Warriors with a mostly full strength team, something that hasn’t happened in some time. Lauri Markkanen is back after returning yesterday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz were without Jusuf Nurkic and Keyonte George in that one and were soundly beaten. Today, on the back […]

Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers: Recap and final score

The Downbeat: Can someone please fix the space-time continuum?

Alright, who broke it? I’m not mad, I just need the culprit to come forward, because this space-time continuum isn’t going to fix itself. Do you see that giant rift? The tear in the fabric of reality? One of you did this, and no one is leaving until you fess up. Something hasn’t been right […]

Preview: Nurkic’s storm passes through SLC against LA Clippers

Is Jusuf Nurkic the most dangerous man in the NBA? I’m mostly joking, of course, because despite the fact that he’s on an unprecedented run of three consecutive triple-doubles (which was on nobody’s bingo card at the beginning of the season, don’t even pretend), it took a herculean performance from Keyonte George to claim the […]

The Utah Jazz just got snubbed by the NBA

Today, the NBA announced the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars Rookies, and a notable name was missing: Ace Bailey. It’s a frustrating omission that I’m sure Bailey will not be happy about. He has done everything the Jazz have asked him to, and his reward for much of this season was watching minutes go to Svi […]

Jusuf Nurkic has just done what no other Utah Jazz player has done

Move aside Nikola Jokic, there’s a new triple-double king in the NBA — for this week. In one of the most random statistical stretches in Utah Jazz history, Jusuf Nurkic has done what no other Utah Jazz player past or present has done: record three straight triple-doubles. On Tuesday, Nurkic logged only the second triple-double […]

Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat recap and final score: Jazz get steamrolled by the Heat

Jusuf Nurkic made Utah Jazz history in a blowout loss to the Miami Heat. No Jazz player has ever recorded three consecutive triple-doubles until tonight. Jusuf Nurkic, who was visibly gassed at the end of the game, stayed in despite the Utah Jazz being down by about 30 points. In the final minutes, he grabbed […]

NBA Free Agency Rumor: New Walker Kessler suitor emerges

According to Tim MacMahon, the Washington Wizards are “fairing to make a significant offer” for Walker Kessler. The reality is that the Utah Jazz can match any offer given to Kessler, so they can make sure he’s here next season. The question becomes, do they want to offer what the Wizards might give him? Utah, […]

Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat preview: It’s time for the Jazzlings to shine

The homestand continues with the first meeting against the Miami Heat, as the Jazz welcome them to the Delta Center. Last year, the record was split 1-1 between the two groups, both of them winning on the road. After Utah’s collapse on Thursday night, they could probably afford an extra win or two without concern […]

Jusuf Nurkic’s historic triple-double for the Utah Jazz

For most fan bases, triple-doubles are a common occurrence. But for fans of the Utah Jazz, Just Nurkic’s stat line of 16 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night holds a special place in their hearts. That triple-double was only the second one by a Jazz […]

The Downbeat: Ace Bailey’s rung on the rookie ladder

The 2025-26 NBA rookie class is absolutely packed with characters certain to draw intrigue from all corners of the basketball map. Of course, you have your Cooper Flagg, VJ Edgecombe, and Kon Knueppel upper-echelon of players who seem poised to one day control the ground they walk upon, but it isn’t challenging or interesting to […]

Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves: preview, start time, channel, injury report

There’s no rest for the weary. After yesterday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the Utah Jazz will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. It looks like the Jazz will be without Lauri Markkanen again in this one, who is out with illness again. They’ll also be without Brice Sensabaugh. At this point in […]

We’ve finally passed it: the halfway marker. 42 games are officially filed away, and just 40 more contests remain. So set up camp, pitch your tent, fill your water reserves, light a fire, roast a s’more, burn a marshmallow beyond recognition, try again, same result, cut your losses, and ingest the charcoal-esque blackness of a […]

Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks: recap and final score

The Utah Jazz were extremely successful in their tank lost to the Dallas Mavericks for the second time in a row 120-138. In the Mavericks’ meaningless win, they showed that their depth is overall stronger than that of the Utah Jazz. Their reward? They jump two spots in the lottery standings and are closer to […]

On the latest Kevin O’Connor show, O’Connor mentioned that the Utah Jazz “are going to be a team with big interest” in Austin Reaves. Reaves will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will draw significant interest leaguewide. So, regardless of whether this is actual intel on the Jazz or just an assumption from […]

Call for new SLC Dunk writers

With the season in full swing, we have writers moving on, and we need new writers to join the team. What I am looking for is Jazz fans who want to write about the Jazz for the fun of it. Real fans, maybe a little crazy. I am looking for contributors who will be reliable […]

Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks: Post Game Recap

The shorthanded Utah Jazz were blown out by 22 points by the Dallas Mavericks in a game that felt endless. For a team jockeying for lottery position, it was a useful loss against another bottom-tier opponent also eyeing a top-five pick. The Jazz face Dallas again Saturday. Going into the game, it seemed as if […]

The Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks play in what might be the tank-off of the season so far.

Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls recap and final score: Brice Sensabaugh blows up!

The Utah Jazz manufactured a perfect outcome against the Chicago Bulls in their 128-126 loss. The Chicago Bulls were without Josh Giddey and were playing on the back end of a back-to-back. That meant the Utah Jazz would have to be strategic to not win the game. Hence, the scratch to Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf […]

Utah Jazz player grades from a near miss out in Chicago

The Utah Jazz couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in Chicago. And to make matters worse, I’m here to announce that school is back in session. On Brice Sensabaugh’s career night, Utah wasn’t able to finish the job and steal what would have been their second-straight W. Instead, they suffered the sting of defeat, […]
