The Utah Jazz will host the Los Angeles Lakers at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday.

Utah (44-30) is fifth in the Western Conference after winning seven of its last eight games. All seven of those wins have been by a margin of at least 16 points, as Utah has been one of the hottest teams in the league of late. On Monday, the Jazz continued rolling with a 125-92 rout of the Phoenix Suns. All five Jazz starters scored in double figures in the win, including Rudy Gobert, who tallied a team-high 27. Utah poses an even tougher challenge at home, where it has gone 24-12 this season.

Los Angeles (33-41), meanwhile, is fresh off two consecutive wins. It is the first set of consecutive victories the Lakers have seen since the All-Star Break. Part of LA's turnaround has been the terrific play of JaVale McGee, who is averaging five blocks and over 16 rebounds in LA's last three games. The veteran scored 20 points to go with 15 rebounds and four blocks in Tuesday's win over the Wizards. The Lakers seemed to be firing on all cylinders in that win, though, as the team shot over 53 percent from the field and saw three players score 20 or more. LA will hope to keep the ball rolling with a win in Utah on Wednesday.
