TV: Spectrum
Place: Salt Lake City, Utah

It doesn't seem like no one wants to make the game thread so I will put my 1-0 record on the line!

Utah has a couple of guys injured so we should have a chance to win this game and start the season 2-0.

Even with all the injuries they played the Blazers tough until the 4th quarter and they could be getting Favors back. But of course I gave us getting a W tonight.

Lakers 105
Jazz 100

This is a tough matchup for the Lakers even with Hayward out. Definitely not the Rockets' defense. Tonight is probably going to be the Lakers' fall back to Earth. Expecting a loss here

Utah lost there first game on the road. I expect them to be fired up at home and ready to go.

They are expected, by a lot of media, to make the playoffs this year.

That being said, if Lakers come out with energy, I really do think we can take this game.

Randle should be able to move freely again with no one on Utah IMO really being able to match up with him.

Without Hayward, Burks, And really a limited favors if he even plays, lakers should have advantage as a collective unit.

Moz vs Gober match up will be interesting

I want Randle to have a 25/10 game today.

It definitely won't be an easy win because Hayward isn't a problem against this team. Favors and Gobert are.

Now if Favors doesn't play, then I would agree.

kind of off topic. i feel it's very odd that every preseason games since a few years back were all Laker home game themed. meaning they brought the entire Laker home game arena settings to the preseason games whether that's in Honda Center, Las Vegas or San Diego. the players have not experienced any road game atmosphere during the preseason. i feel that's very strange. so tonight will be the first time they don the road purple jersey and play in the atmosphere they're not accustomed to since end of last season.

Sounds like Favors is going to play. This is going to be a great test for our big guys especially Randle after beating up on a bad front court against the Rockets. This would be a big win to get some more momentum for this roadtrip.

Yeah he went through an "intense" practice yesterday so he should've good to go. But I think they may limit his minutes.

Yeah Favors is a tough matchup for Julius and Hill is going to make it a long night for Russell. Going to be tough at the rim with Gobert. I think we will need Clarkson, Young, and Deng to lift us.

I hope we can get a win against the short handed Jazz. My main concern is Gobert. If he dominates the paint on defense we will be in trouble. Plus, we don't have Kobe to shut down Rodney Hood anymore

If he continues to miss games this season, I would like to see the Lakers add Steve Blake as a insurance, we can't rely on Huertas.

Utah will decide during pre-game on Favors but it looks like he's ready to play.
