TV TALK: The battle of Jazz All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer's young son to overcome sickle cell anemia will be featured on ESPN's nationally televised newsmagazine show, E:60.

The segment will air locally at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Carmani Boozer underwent a bone marrow transplant and has since fully recovered from the life-threatening disease.

SURVEY SAYS: Ten of 10 ESPN.com NBA specialists surveyed by the Web site late last week picked the Jazz to win the Northwest Division this season, while four picked them to finish fourth in the Western Conference, four picked them to finish third in the conference, one said second and only one — statistical analyst John Hollinger — predicted the Jazz would win the West.

Wrote Hollinger: "Utah? Yes, Utah. The West's top point-differential squad returns everybody, they're all in their 20s and they've had enough time together to jell. Crazy depth means they'll be able to handle the grind, and good luck beating them with their playoff home-court advantage."
