Our original game preview for today focused on this Saturday matchup with the Utah Jazz being the start of a tougher stretch of the schedule for the Lakers, and while some of that is still true due to injuries and other games later in the week, it looks like their matinee matchup with the No. 1 seed may be a lot more winnable than previously though, because in addition to Donovan Mitchell missing the game with an ankle injury, the Jazz are sitting Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley and Derrick Favors for the second game of their current back-to-back.
