The Utah Jazz have found the right time to surge with the stretch run winding down and a big reason for the teams’ recent success has been their play on the road. The Jazz have won 14 of their last 15 road games – going 11-3-1 ATS in that span – with the lone loss coming in overtime. Can Donavan Mitchell and company keep they torrid road play alive when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday?
- Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma are both officially questionable for this game.
- Rudy Gobert is averaging 11.5 points and 12.5 rebounds in the last 6 games.
- The Jazz are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against the Lakers.
With a victory in this one, the Jazz will officially clinch a playoff berth in the jam-packed Western Conference, which would mark just their second trip to the postseason since 2012. The Jazz enter this game riding a four-game winning streak that has seen them post an average scoring margin of +13.3 points per game. The Jazz beat the Lakers 117-110 this past Wednesday, thanks to the efforts of Ricky Rubio and Mitchell who combined for 57 points while shooting 8-for-15 from 3-point range.
Who will be on the court for the Lakers seems like a mystery with both Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma both officially questionable for Sunday. At least the Lakers will have Julius Randle – who might be the best player on the team right now, as the power forward has recorded a double-double in 12 of the last 16 games.
