PREVIEW: The Lakers enter this matchup with an 11-4 record while the Jazz sit at 5-10 , setting up a clash between a team firing on all cylinders and one desperately seeking consistency. Los Angeles dominated Utah 140-126 just days ago , but these teams reconvene Sunday night at the Delta Center where Utah presents a tough environment to compete in. Lauri Markkanen continues his career year, averaging 30.6 points per game on 21.5 field-goal attempts nightly , powering a Jazz offense that demands defensive attention. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic leads the league in scoring at 34.6 points per game , anchoring a Lakers squad that remains nearly unstoppable offensively. Unfortunately, both teams arrive without ShotQuality data available for analysis, leaving shooting efficiency insights unavailable for this preview. Utah's three-point shooting ranks 25th league-wide at 33.7 percent, and their defense sits 29th in Adjusted Defensive Rating , exposing significant vulnerabilities against a high-powered opponent. The Lakers benefit from a five-day break following their dominant victory , potentially giving them fresher legs for this road contest. These clubs have played six of their last seven meetings going over the total , suggesting another high-scoring affair could unfold Sunday evening.
