RestRested
Rested — no back-to-back.

Brandon Ingram draws Utah Jazz's drop coverage scheme — sits the big back to wall off the rim and lives with contested mid-range looks.

Primary assignment projects to Jaren Jackson Jr. (strong defender, 80 Perimeter D), Isaiah Collier secondary, with Jusuf Nurkic as the low-man/help.

Model lines Ingram at 21.6 pts (range 18.3–24.9) vs a 21.5 line — roughly a coin flip to clear it (51%).

Biggest edge: scheme fit — drop coverage concedes the pull-up/mid-range he likes.

Model favors Utah Jazz (60%), projected 111–114, ~225 total at 96.5 pace.
