The LA Clippers and Utah Jazz will have their preseason rematch tonight, but the Clippers will have some new faces enter the game.

Last game against the Jazz, the Clippers withheld Russell Westbrook and Nicolas Batum from the game due to rest. Marcus Morris was also missing due to a groin injury. It was a curious decision to rest Westbrook and Batum, considering Clippers head coach Ty Lue had just mentioned a day prior that everyone was available for the game. Lue did mention on Sunday that both Russell Westbrook and Nicolas Batum will be available for tonight's game against the Jazz. The status of Brandon Boston and Marcus Morris both remain unknown for Tuesday's game, but both were out due to injury on Sunday. Joshua Primo will also be out due to a suspension.

The Utah Jazz only have two players listed on their injury report: Johnny Juzang, and Joey Hauser due to a foot injury. The Jazz are a relatively young team, so it would be surprising for them to rest anyone entirely during a preseason game.

The Clippers and Jazz put on a show in Hawaii on Sunday. While both teams rested their primary starters after the first half, their younger players made the game worthwhile for Hawaiian fans in the second half. The game went down to the wire and ultimately came down to the final buzzer.

The LA Clippers and Utah Jazz face off again in preseason game number two at 7:00 PM PST.
