Flop: Kyle Korver

Kyle Korver is a career 43% shooter from the three-point line.

With Utah on the upward curve now, they would need a reliable effort from their reserves throughout the second half of the season and Korver plays a huge role in spreading the floor with his range late in the game coming off the bench.

Just a couple of games ago, Korver had himself a nice three-game stretch when his team was winning and he was scoring in 15+ point numbers. But the previous matchup (against his former team, Cleveland) and this one have proven to be a mild rough patch evidently. He scored 7 and 6 points respectively, going as bad as 0-of-5 from deep against Portland in this loss.

Kyle Korver came off the bench for Utah and played 23 minutes in a game where his team shot a miserable 21% from the deep. This was Korver's sixth single-digit scoring performance this month alone.

Quin Snyder has managed to squeeze in a consistent amount of minutes for the veteran sharpshooter in Jazz games but in return, Kyle hasn't responded with comparable consistency in his scoring totals.
