The Lakers have a 31 percent chance of winning today! The top management is unwilling to exchange Xiaoli for Murray, and Ao Fat said that he would never be the head coach of the Lakers

On January 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. According to the schedule, the Lakers will face the Jazz away today, and this game is a very crucial card battle for both sides.

After yesterday's win over the Raptors, the Jazz's record changed to 20-20 and they moved up one spot to move the Lakers to 10th in the West, knocking the Lakers out of the play-in zone. For today's head-to-head matchup, ESPN gave a pre-game prediction, with the Lakers winning 31% and the Jazz winning 69%.

The Lakers are currently in the midst of trade rumors, and they have a lot of players in mind, but it's doubtful that they can do that. Among them, the Lakers are very interested in Hawks star Murray. But earlier today, according to the famous reporter Dan Woike, the Lakers are not certain about the possible Reaves and Murray swap at this stage. According to sources, the Lakers are not interested in trading Reaves despite regressing on the defensive end this season, and even if they do trade Reaves for Murray, there are doubts within the Lakers that this will make a difference.

In addition, the Lakers were also caught in a change of coach turmoil before, and it was not until after consecutive wins over the Clippers and Raptors that Ham's position became solid. Regarding the Lakers' change of coach, team celebrity O'Neal said: "I will never be the head coach of the Lakers." Do you know why? Because I'm going to beat people, and if I tell you to do something and you don't, then I'm going to beat you up!"

So far, the Lakers have a 19-20 record and are in 11th place in the West. Will they be able to beat the Jazz today and return to the Western Conference playoffs?
