It?s an inter-conference tilt down in Buzz City. The Utah Jazz play their third straight game against a Southeast Division foe as they face the Charlotte Hornets Friday night. Utah snapped a three game losing skid by edging the Wizards 107-104 on the road Wednesday night. Charlotte had their two game win streak snapped with a 115-111 home loss to Dallas Wednesday night. The Jazz owns a commanding 37-18 edge in the all-time regular season series between the teams but the teams have split the last six matchups with the home team prevailing in each contest.

The Charlotte Hornets will be trying to bounce back from their loss to the Dallas Mavericks when they host the Utah Jazz on Friday.
