(Sports Network) - The New Jersey Nets will resume a four-game road trip tonight against the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena. New Jersey has won three of four games and improved to 1-1 on the west coast trek after Wednesday's 116-114 overtime win against the Sacramento Kings at ARCO Arena. Vince Carter scored 25 points before being carried off the court midway through overtime with a leg injury.

Brook Lopez added 20 points and eight rebounds for the Nets, who will also visit Phoenix in the desert. Devin Harris chipped in 18 points and seven assists in a winning effort.

Carter is probable for Saturday's game.

Utah will wrap up a four-game homestand versus the Nets and has won two straight and five of its last seven games. In Friday's 120-94 triumph versus Sacramento, Mehmet Okur led eight Utah players in double figures with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Deron Williams finished with 15 assists and 13 points for the Jazz, who improved to 8-1 in Salt Lake City this season. Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles had 18 points apiece in the win.

Both teams split a pair of meetings last year, but New Jersey has won seven of the last nine in the series.

The Nets have lost 11 of their previous 14 games at Utah.
