Their starting lineup has been relayed by Underdog NBA.
Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Lakers will start Schroder, Reaves, James, Vanderbilt, Davis on Tuesday."
The Lakers come into the night playing very well over the last few weeks.
They are 7-3 in their previous ten games and in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
Following the trading deadline, the Lakers have completely turned around their season, and they are the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 40-38 record in 78 games.
On the road, they are 19-20 in 39 games, and the Lakers are only a half-game back of the sixth seed (the final guaranteed playoff spot).
Meanwhile, the Jazz are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 36-42 record in 78 games.
They are in the middle of a two-game losing streak and are 3-7 in their last ten games.
At home, the Jazz have been good, going 22-16 in the 38 games they have played in Salt Lake City.
Last season, the Lakers went 33-49 and missed the NBA Playoffs, while the Jazz lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
That said, the Jazz are a much different team after trading Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell over the offseason.
