Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz: 3 Players to watch

The Los Angeles Lakers will be playing the Utah Jazz in their fifth preseason game. Here are three players to watch.

In their fourth preseason game on Sunday night, the Los Angeles Lakers were finally able to get their first win of the preseason. Without Lonzo Ball, it was a pretty ugly game, but the Lakers did get the win.

The 75-69 final score against the Kings looked more like a normal third quarter score for the Lakers, but it was certainly good to see them hold on and get a win. In the win, the Lakers were led by their bench, as both Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma weren’t starters in the game.

Off the bench, those two players combined for 32 of the Lakers’ 75 points. Both Kuzma and Randle have had very strong performances in the preseason, and it was interesting to see both of them coming off the bench. However, the two looked just fine in that role, but the starting unit was rather poor.

On Tuesday night, the Lakers will be facing off with the Utah Jazz. Ball is going to be out once again, so we will likely see Tyler Ennis as the starting point guard again. With the Lakers being a bit short-handed without Ball and Andrew Bogut, here are three players to watch against the Utah Jazz.
