Anthony Davis Late Add Update

On November 20, 2024By Littum

The Utah Jazz will face the Los Angeles Lakers in Tuesday night’s second game of the NBA Cup qualifiers. Both franchises enter the competition with less than 100%.

The Lakers will be without ex-Jazzman Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jalen Hood-Schfino, while Bronny James (heel) is questionable. MVP candidate Anthony Davis was a late addition with a foot injury and will likely suit up against the Jazz. Lakers forward Cam Reddish is also likely

LA Lakers – F Anthony Davis (foot) & F Cam Reddish (foot) probable, F Rui Hachimura (ankle) doubtful, G Bronny James (heel) us doubtful & G Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) out tonight vs Utah.

As for the Jazz, starting center Walker Kessler will be out with a hip injury. This will be Kessler’s fifth straight missed contest.

Utah will be entering its third game of a four-game road trip. The Jazz have dropped the first two games of this stretch, and oddsmakers expect it to be three in a row. DraftKings has Utah pegged as an 11-point underdog.

Since this game has NBA Cup implications, expect both teams to put their best foot forward. The Jazz are 0-1 in NBA Cup games, while the Lakers are 1-0.

This will be a game with two teams going in opposite directions. In a rebuilding year, the Jazz have gotten off to a 3-10 start. Jazz fans can expect to keep piling up the losses with a top-five pick on the line in the 2025 NBA draft.

The Lakers are currently riding a five-game winning streak. This could be LeBron James’ last legitimate chance to capture his fifth championship, and the Lakers will be in win-now mode. Tip-off is at 8:30 MT.
