(Get latest betting odds)

The Los Angeles Lakers (32-19) are set to face the Utah Jazz (12-40) on February 12, 2025, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Lakers are riding a six-game winning streak, bolstered by the recent addition of Luka Dončić, who made a successful debut against the Jazz on February 10, contributing 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in limited minutes. 

In their previous matchup, the Lakers secured a 132-113 victory over the Jazz. LeBron James led the team with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. Given the Lakers’ recent form and the Jazz’s struggles, Los Angeles is favored to win this matchup. However, Utah will aim to rebound and improve their defensive performance to challenge the Lakers effectively.

 

Austin Reaves Over 19.5 Points

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been a significant contributor to his team’s offense this season. He’s averaging 19.2 points per game, along with 4.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 45.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.7%.

Austin Reeves has been playing at another level as of late. Notably, on February 8, 2025, Reaves scored a career-high 45 points in a victory over the Indiana Pacers.  we’ve seen him score 20 or more points in his last five games. Even with Luka joining this Lakers team I still expect Austin Reeves to be a vocal point of this offense.

Lauri Markkanen Under 18.5 Points

Lauri Markkanen has been a consistent offensive contributor for the Utah Jazz but has shown inconsistencies at times. Over 38 games, he is averaging 19.3 points per game, along with 6.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 42.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.1%.

We’ve seen Lauri score 20 or more points in just one of his last seven games. Last season Lauri was scoring 20+ a game no problem but this season his offensive production has dropped. I’ve been taking the under on Lauri’s points all season long and have been cashing in. This Lakers team has been solid on the defensive side of the ball so I don’t think this is the matchup Lauri magically looks like his old self. 

Lebron James Over 7.5 Assists

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been a pivotal playmaker during the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 47 games, he is averaging 9.0 assists per game, ranking him fourth in the league. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 51.7%. 

LeBron James has cleared this line of 7.5 assists in nine of his last eight games. He’s been getting a lot of great offensive production from different guys on this team which makes it easy for LeBron to fill up the assist column on the stat sheet. Now you add Luka Doncic to the mix and it makes it even easier.
