Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Jazz have quietly won 2 of their last 3 games, but their injury report continues to get longer by the week. Meanwhile, there’s a chance the Lakers could be as healthy as they’ve been all season, with Vincent and LeBron listed as questionable. If LeBron makes his season debut, there’s sure to be energy in the building that alone could blow the Jazz away. The Lakers keep finding ways to win and are 10-4 ATS on the season. Thick number, but sometimes you just back the trends and watch the tickets cash. The Lakers keep making us money. Assuming LeBron is back, I’ll take the Lakers in a blowout victory.
