Utah Jazz vs LA Lakers Prediction

The LA Lakers should be favored at home for obvious reasons, but this line feels a bit steep. The Utah Jazz have been more competitive since the return of Markkanen and others, and they’ve covered 4 of their last 7 games. The Lakers are also 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games as double-digit favorites, while the Jazz are 5-3 ATS in their last 8 games as double-digit underdogs. Just because the Jazz have three wins on the season doesn’t mean we just throw out massive numbers in their direction. Give me the Jazz and the points.
