Game Preview
No matter what many believe, the Lakers are entering a new era. This will be a huge challenge for JJ Redick, who needs to pair Luka and LeBron and keep up with good results. Just a few noticed that the Lakers have six straight wins and that in all those matches, they are 6-0 ATS.
Luka had a quiet debut for his standards, with only 14 points. He made just one of seven threes. Before landing in Los Angeles, he averaged 27.5 points, which would be the fifth-best average in the NBA.
Utah Jazz is in trouble. The franchise’s management has made plenty of bad moves in recent years, so it’s no wonder the Jazz’s NBA results are this poor. They are 12-40 this season and are one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Utah Jazz allows 119.4 points per game which is the No.30 in the NBA rankings. The only two worse teams are the Bulls and the Wizards. The franchise from Salt Lake allows the rivals to shoot almost 48% FG.
