The Utah Jazz will take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Salt Lake City tonight. The good news for Jazz fans is that it looks like LeBron James will be playing. It does appear that the Lakers will not
have Gabe Vincent suit up as he’s dealing with some lower back tightness.
For Utah, the injury report has one key addition, Lauri Markkanen.
It’s a very clear move that the Utah Jazz are not messing around about keeping their top-8 protected pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Jazz are showing real improvement but are not good enough at 10-15 to think they don’t need another top-8 pick to build around. In fact, the Jazz have looked good enough that if they hit in this lottery, their core is good enough to make some real noise next season.
