Los Angeles Lakers (32-19) will meet the Utah Jazz (40-12) in the final game of their regular-season series. Both sides met each other on Monday and the Lakers routed the Jazz 132-113 on Luka Doncic’s highly-anticipated debut. The Lakers are 3-0 against the Jazz in the four-game regular-season series.

Meanwhile, Bronny James, who didn’t take part in the South Bay Lakers’ previous game on Monday, was reportedly recalled for the home game against the Jazz. However, the rookie player didn’t take part due to a muscle strain.

Bronny was on the radar of the fans and NBA experts after an awful performance last month. The 20-year-old went 0-for-5 with three turnovers in 15 minutes. “Maybe put him in a tough spot,” Redick said after the game against the 76ers. Lakers coach can now offer him another opportunity on Wednesday, thanks to consistent G League performances.
