Tonight, the Lakers will host the Utah Jazz in a rematch of Thursday night's game. They look to fix some things on the defensive end to make this game much closer throughout. The Lakers will be without Nick Young (thumb surgery), Jeremy Lin (ankle sprain), Jordan Clarkson (strained calf), Xavier Henry (knee & wrist) & most likely Steve Nash (old). For a more in depth summary of tonight's match up, check out the game preview: Lakers vs Jazz Preview. Here are tonight's projected starters:
| Los Angeles Lakers | Utah Jazz | |
| PG | Ronny Price | Trey Burke |
| SG | Kobe Bryant | Rodney Hood |
| SF | Wesley Johnson | Gordon Hayward |
| PF | Carlos Boozer | Enes Kanter |
| C | Jordan Hill | Derrick Favors |
