BOTTOM LINE: Utah hosts the Los Angeles Lakers after the Jazz took down the Dallas Mavericks 140-133 in overtime. The Jazz are 6-11 in conference matchups. Utah allows the most points in the Western Conference, giving up 126.1 points and is allowing opponents to shoot 48.8%.

After a season asserting there'd be no tanking in Utah, the Jazz rested three players against Dallas. Should we expect that for the rest of the year? Plus, stats on Keyonte George, and reaction to a controversial Jusuf Nurkic tweet.

Flagg's 42 points tied Mark Aguirre for the most by a rookie in franchise history. Aguirre accomplished the feat in just his 9th game in the NBA against the Golden State Warriors back on November 14th, 1981, which was also a loss for the Mavs.
