Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz

NBA Regular Season

UTA VS LAL MATCH PREVIEW:

Los Angeles Lakers host Utah Jazz in NBA action on Monday morning (IST) at Staples Center, in Los Angeles.

Lakers (34-45) are 11th in Western Conference heading into this match. They can’t move below their current standing, and neither they have the games left to take on Los Angeles Clippers who are a place above in the table at 10th with 42 wins and 38 losses this season.

While Utah Jazz (44-35) have everything to play for in their next three games of the regular season. They are 4th in the table heading into this match, but they are still not guaranteed a place in the NBA playoffs. That’s because New Orleans Pelicans (46-34), San Antonio Spurs (46-34), Oklahoma City Thunder (46-34), Minnesota Timberwolves (45-35), and Denver Nuggets (45-35) have almost an identical record, and they all have the chance to finish in the top-8 of the playoff.

So the season has come down to the remaining three games, and Jazz have no option but to win the game against their hosts Los Angeles Lakers.

Also, the Utah franchise finished at a respectable 5th place in Western Conference last season. They are well on the track of bettering that position or even matching last season’s ranking will, no doubt, be a good achievement.

The visitors have the momentum and the talent to achieve that target. One win and they would be through to the playoffs, so it’s a very important game for the visitors.
