In this story:


The Los Angeles Lakers are on a tear, having won 10 of their last 11 games, including the last six games in a row. This includes victories against dominant teams like the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Clipers, the New York Knicks, and the Indiana Pacers.

Now, Los Angeles is looking to extend their winning streak to seven games against the Utah Jazz, who they had just beaten on Monday 132-113. However, they might have to do it without their second round NBA Draft pick.

According to a report from Dave McMenamin of ESPN, guard Bronny James is questionable with a left forearm muscle strain.
