Lakers vs. Jazz: The Surprising Twist That Could Change Everything—LeBron’s Return Not the Only Factor
The Jazz, if you squint hard enough, actually look like a decent team. They are 5-8 for the season, but just 1-5 away from Utah, which is a fairly regular record for them over the past few years. The Jazz are a team that has a few pieces that could be enticing trade pieces if they want to go full blown rebuild, but they also do a good job late in the season of tanking enough to still keep lottery picks. This year, they selected Ace Bailey who looked really unhappy about having to head to Utah. Bailey is playing around 20 minutes, but averaging just 8.4 points per game. He did have a couple of really nice games in a row against the Pacers and Hawks, putting up 20 points in both of them, but he only saw the floor for 10 minutes against the Bulls in a double overtime win. He fouled out in that game. Fouling out in 10 minutes is hard to do. Let’s take a look at the road win and the losses for the Jazz. They lost by one point, 22, 23, 11, 40, and the win was by two points. Essentially, they’ve been blown out in half of the road games.
