The 1-1 Utah Jazz get set to host the 2-0 LA Lakers on Sunday in Salt Lake City in the 2026-27 NBA season. Austin Reaves has been the standout performer of the Lakers’ opening week and our match prediction is backing him to keep filling up the stat sheet.
It’s been a strong start to life after LeBron for the Lakers, who have come fast out of the blocks with two wins from two. They opened the campaign with a 127-105 demolition job of Golden State before a big third quarter helped lift them over the Clippers 125-117 in the season’s first Battle of LA.
Reaves was the headline-grabber in their last outing, dropping 28 points and nine assists on 10-13 shooting. It’s been a hot start for the guard who is now the clear number two option behind Luka Doncic, and the early signs suggest his role has grown considerably with LeBron James in Philadelphia.
The Jazz were blown out 123-103 on the road by the Grizzlies in their opener, but bounced back positively with a narrow 120-119 home win over the Pelicans on Friday. Jaren Jackson Jr was the standout in that victory with 24 points and 10 rebounds.
Utah finished bottom of the Western Conference last season at 22-60 and will now look to build on their first win of the campaign.
