Looking to build on a two-game winning streak, the Los Angeles Lakers hit the road for their third matchup of the 2018-19 NBA season against the Utah Jazz.

The Lakers are 1-1 against the Jazz this season, having dropped their previous head-to-head meeting on Jan. 11 by a final score of 113-95. Following Wednesday’s contest, the two teams will face off for a final time on April 7 at Staples Center.

With a win over the Lakers, the Jazz will inch closer to officially clinching a playoff berth. Utah is currently slotted in with the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference standings, holding a slim 1.5 game advantage over the No. 8 seed San Antonio Spurs.

The Lakers announced that LeBron James will not play in Wednesday’s contest against the Jazz due to load management. Tyson Chandler (flu-like symptoms) and Josh Hart (knee tendinitis) are additionally out.

Moreover, Mike Muscala (tibialias posterior tendinitis) and Reggie Bullock (plantar fasciitis) are both listed as questionable.

With a potentially shorthanded bench for head coach Luke Walton, some of the team’s G League talent will likely earn minutes against the Jazz. That includes Scott Machado, who is looking to make the most of his opportunity with the team.
