What you need to know about the Jazz
The Jazz's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight loss. They took a 138-122 bruising from the Los Angeles Lakers. Utah had seven players reach double-figures in scoring, but Collin Sexton led the team with just 18 points on the night. John Collins did manage a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
However, the Jazz allowed the Lakers to shoot 57.1% from the floor despite Los Angeles giving LeBron James the night off. Now both teams will be playing the second night of a back-to-back and their third game in four days ahead of the upcoming NBA All-Star break. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about the Warriors
Meanwhile, the Warriors unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell to the Los Angeles Clippers, 130-125.

However, the Clippers benefitted from a more attacking approach, going 29-of-37 from the free-throw line while the Warriors went 13-of-18 from the charity stripe. The Jazz and Warriors are currently separated by 1.5 games in the standings as the first team out and last team in for the Western Conference's NBA play-in tournament. See which team to pick here.
