Cleveland at Los Angeles

Los Angeles had won two in a row before stumbling again on Friday when the Lakers got off to a slow start and couldn't climb back and lost 130-116 to Utah. They'll try to get off to a better start today and the Lakers have beaten Cleveland the past five meetings and covered the last three. The good news for Los Angeles is Russell Westbrook had his best game of the season with 26 points and Anthony Davis added 22 points and the team shot 48 percent. However, the Lakers need to clamp down defensively as the Jazz shot 50 percent. Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Darius Garland (guard) both are questionable for the Cavaliers and neither played in Friday's game at Detroit. The Cavaliers haven't beaten the Lakers since Jan. 13, 2019. Los Angeles is beginning to get contributions from all its star players. Take the points with the Lakers.
