00:00Tonight in Los Angeles, Luka Doncic's debut with the L.A. Lakers as the Lake

00:06show get ready to host at home the Utah Jazz 13-point spread in favor of LA

00:12total at 234 and a half. Lakers a good basketball team through 50 games they

00:17are 31 and 19 they've won five straight they're in the five spot in the Western

00:23Conference the Jazz not so great 12 and 39 but they've been booked as a dog 50

00:28of 51 games 26 and 24 ATS but maybe more than the result we expect the

00:35Lakers to win can they cover a different conversation we want to see how it all

00:40looks tonight with 77 and golden purple the first ever Laker in franchise

00:46history to wear jersey number 77 that is Luka Doncic and not just how he looks

00:52DRS alongside LeBron James in the rest of his new teammates this is Lucas

00:58first game since Christmas he has been out for a while with a calf injury I

01:03believe was that final diagnosis his props for his Laker debut 25 and a half

01:10points seven and a half rebounds six and a half assists frankly for Luka Doncic

01:16at least when he played with the Mavericks those numbers are kind of

01:19light yeah they are kind of light and again he's coming off an injury in a new

01:24town what do you usually like though it could go two ways right does he say I'm

01:28gonna be the focal point of this offense I'm gonna drop 35 my debut I'm gonna be

01:32excited the team's gonna set me up or is it one of those where I'll get my points

01:36but I want to make sure I'm dropping dimes all over the place to get used to

01:39my players here and they're gonna understand what a force I am on the

01:42court so if I look at 25 and a half seven and a half and six and a half you

01:47know what I like the best the assist number give me over six and a half

01:50assists you can never go wrong by helping out your teammates the first

01:54time you take the floor with them sure you'll get your points your hustle to

01:58get rebounds but give me the over six and a half assists to really make that

02:02imprint like damn this guy's good and he's including us out here completely

02:07agree DRS I think it's a great way of looking at it for Luka Doncic tonight

02:12six and a half times those numbers again when the expectation with the Mavs was

02:16it was Luka Doncic and everybody else probably 28 29 30 and a half points

02:21eight nine and a half rebounds eight and a half assists expecting a triple double

02:26basically on each and every night now that number probably more limited his

02:31debut in Los Angeles he is playing with LeBron James who's still in year 22 at

02:3540 years old is playing at an absolutely elite level and it's his first game back

02:41from injury in a month and a half so all of that mixed into those numbers

02:46but still I like the six and a half assists just to be a facilitator get his

02:51feet wet tonight in Los Angeles Lakers should win we'll see if they can cover

02:55in a big way against the Utah Jazz
