The Los Angeles Lakers host the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (8-6) look to continue their current mini-surge against a Jazz team that is 4-9 and has lost six of their last eight games. The Lakers are coming off a hard-earned 105-104 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday. LeBron James led the way with a virtuoso 37-point, eight-assist performance. Guard Austin Reaves, who has struggled to start the season, was a major spark plug off the bench with 17 points and six assists in just 25 minutes.
Utah may be playing poorly, and it may be one of the NBA’s worst defensive teams, but it does have players L.A. should be concerned about. Lauri Markkanen, who was a first-time All-Star last year, continues to put up excellent numbers. Former Laker guard Jordan Clarkson can go off at any time. Clarkson has averaged 29.6 points a game while shooting a high percentage in his last five contests.
This will be the fourth and final game of group play in the in-season tournament for the Lakers. They’re currently 3-0 in group play and can clinch home-court advantage in the quarterfinal game of the knockout round, which would take place early in December.
