The Utah Jazz face the Los Angeles Lakers in Tuesday night's second game of the NBA Cup qualifier. Both franchises will be entering the contest at less than 100%.

The Lakers will be without ex-Jazzman Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jalen Hood-Schfino, while Bronny James (heel) is doubtful. MVP candidate Anthony Davis was a late addition with a foot injury and is probable to suit up against the Jazz. Lakers forward Cam Reddish is probable as well,

LA Lakers - F Anthony Davis (foot) & F Cam Reddish (foot) are probable, F Rui Hachimura (ankle) is questionable, G Bronny James (heel) us doubtful & G Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) is out tonight versus Utah.

As for the Jazz, starting center Walker Kessler will be out with a hip injury. This will be Kessler’s fifth consecutive missed contest.

Utah will be entering its third game of a four-game road trip. The Jazz have dropped the first two games of this stretch, and the oddsmakers are projecting it to be three in a row. DraftKings has Utah pegged as an 11-point underdog.

With this game having NBA Cup implications, expect both teams to put their best foot forward. The Jazz are 0-1 in NBA Cup games, while the Lakers are 1-0.

This will be a game of two teams headed in opposite directions. In a rebuilding year, the Jazz have gotten off to a 3-10 start. Jazz fans can expect to keep stacking up the losses with a top-five pick on the line in the 2025 NBA draft.

The Lakers are currently riding a five-game winning streak. This could be LeBron James's last legitimate chance to obtain his fifth championship, and the Lakers will be in win-now mode. The tip-off is at 8:30 MT.
