I believe Utah is punting on this game in the second of a back-to-back and unusual start time. Donovan Mitchell is out injured and we know that Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley so far are resting.

The Jazz received good news with Donovan Mitchell's X-rays being negative, but they are going to have to adjust without their leading scorer. The Lakers did a great job of cutting down a near 30-point deficit and turning their matchup against the Celtics into a two-possession game. I love their identity now under Frank Vogel. The Lakers are physical and tough. Utah has to make some adjustments, and they are on the road.
