The LA Lakers and Utah Jazz are back at it again on Wednesday, but this time at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Lakers dominated the Jazz 132-113 two days ago in Los Angeles in Luka Doncic's memorable debut for the purple and gold.
Coach JJ Redick didn't make any changes to his starting lineup that featured Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, LeBron James and Jaxson Hayes. The Lakers were banking on the Luka-LeBron duo to extend their winning streak to seven ahead of the All-Star break.
On the other hand, coach Will Hardy stuck with his starting five of Isaiah Collier, Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Walker Kessler. The Jazz have the second-worst record in the West at 12-40, but they could be looking for revenge after what happened on Monday.
