Keyonte George scored a career-high 43 points, Jusuf Nurkic recorded his second career triple-double, and the Utah Jazz rallied to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 127-122.

The Utah Jazz are starting to find better and better positioning in this year's race to the top of the NBA lottery standings.

Utah has a special player in George and he has the potential to become the face of the organization. The Jazz have a group of talented young players, and with George leading the way, the team is headed in the right direction. George has 11 30-point games this season and had a stretch where he scored 30 plus points in three straight games.

For the first time in years, the Jazz beat a team at the top of an NBA conference. Was this a glimpse into the team's future?

Regardless, Nurkic's age, expiring contract, and quality production through the first half of the year make him an appealing trade candidate to watch before the deadline hits. Considering his contract nets him $19.3 million, a trade could be tougher to iron out compared to a simple buyout.

An NBA trade proposal sending Anthony Davis to the Golden State Warriors and Jimmy Butler and two draft picks to the Dallas Mavericks has been created.

On Saturday, the NBA is going to witness another exciting matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. The match will tip off at 5:00 pm ET.
