After winning their home opener on Wednesday, the Jazz will get their first road test of the season on Friday when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers in a matchup of Western Conference contenders at Staples Center. Utah is projected by many to be in the mix for the conference crown with the addition of Conley and free agent shooting forward Bojan Bogdanovic to go with a core of Donovan Mitchell, two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, and forwards Joe Ingles and Royce O'Neale. The Jazz believe Conley's addition will provide them an upgrade at point guard compared to Ricky Rubio, who spent the past two seasons with the club before signing as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns.
