Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Nov. 25 at Utah Jazz
By Adam McGee
Jazz to watch – Rodney Hood
Rodney Hood isn’t exactly the league’s most consistent scorer, but he can be really explosive.
Averaging 17.5 points per game, while shooting 39.7 percent from deep, Hood’s most recent big game came as his 31 points drove the Jazz on to a 40-point win over the Orlando Magic last week.
Hood has got a smooth shooting stroke and a deceptively long and languid athleticism, which makes him more than capable of catching fire and making the Bucks pay.
Hood only scored a total of six points against Milwaukee last year across two games, but in more of a featured role without Hayward or Gobert, he’ll be a much more central part of Utah’s plans on Saturday.
The Bucks have a variety of wing defenders they can throw at Hood to make things difficult for him, and how they fare in that matchup could prove decisive in the game overall.
