(NBA) Utah vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -115.00 Utah (Away)
Result: Loss
The Jazz were 0-4 in the pre-season but I dont think they put much into those games. Donovan Mitchell put in an All-Star level performance to kick off the season for Utah. In 36 minutes, Mitchell scored 32 points alongside 12 rebounds and three assists. With the newly acquired Mike Conley that should open it up for the other players. Conley also had an awful shooting night in their opener going 0-of-6 form the three-point line and 1-of-16 from the field. The Jazz are a veteran team with a smart coach. The Lakers are probably going to have problems if Danny Green is the team's top scorer. Anthony Davis added 25 points, but it came at the cost of a 8-of-21 shooting. I like the JAZZ on Friday night to get the win on the road over LA.
