Utah Jazz Spin the Rotation Roulette Wheel with Wednesday Lineup

The Utah Jazz are rolling out a starting five on Wednesday that sounds like a randomly generated NBA 2K Summer League roster.

According to Underdog NBA, Utah will start Keyonte George, Tristan Peterson, Amari Bailey, Lauri Markkanen, and Jaxson Hayes against the New Orleans Pelicans.

"Lineup alert: Jazz will start George, Peterson, Bailey, Markkanen, Hayes on Wednesday. (Underdog NBA)"

Seeing established guys like Markkanen and George next to Peterson, Bailey, and Hayes is the kind of rotation roulette that makes fantasy managers and prop bettors sweat through their shirts.

Utah desperately needs a spark to fix their current trajectory. They are coming off a brutal three-game skid where they dropped two matchups to the San Antonio Spurs and got blown out by the Portland Trail Blazers 112-90.

At least George is healthy and ready to run the offense. He has been a massive bright spot for Utah, averaging 23.8 points and 6.2 assists while shooting 37 percent from deep this season.

Having Markkanen back in the mix to anchor the frontcourt alongside Hayes gives them some actual offensive gravity. Markkanen was previously dealing with a hip issue, but his presence alone changes the math for opposing defenses.

For anyone looking at the betting board tonight, this lineup is a massive variable. You know George is going to get his shots, and Markkanen is the primary option, but how the usage trickles down to the rest of the wings is a total guessing game.

We will see if this experimental five can stop the bleeding in New Orleans. If they get run off the floor again, expect the Jazz to keep shuffling the deck before they head to Dallas to play the Mavericks on Friday.
