Utah (37-43) (17-23 V) has lost nine of their last ten games and four of their last five on the road. The Jazz will miss the playoffs for the first time in five seasons in a tumultuous campaign that saw Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan resign Feb. 10. The Jazz are playing their final road contest after losing 111-102 at San Antonio on Saturday. Jefferson led the way against the Spurs with 23 points. Rookie Derrick Favors, acquired in the Williams' deal, had a season-high 17. Paul Millsap is averaging 21.3 points on 64.9 percent shooting against New Orleans this season.

New Orleans (46-34) (28-12 H) has won six of their last ten and have won four of their last five at home. The Hornets dropped into a tie with the Grizzlies for seventh place in the Western Conference, after Sunday's 111-89 loss at Memphis. Chris Paul has accomplished plenty during his six NBA seasons, but never had he gone scoreless until his last game. The four-time All-Star missed all six shots from the field and both attempts from the line. "I just couldn't make nothing," Paul said. "There's a first time for everything. I had some good looks, they just didn't go in." "The only thing we can control is our wins and losses," Paul said. "We're one of those teams, we haven't been together long enough to say this is who we want to play, or who we don't want to play. We've just got to continue to play, deal with it as a team, and deal with who we have to play when we get to it."
