Lakers vs Jazz: No matter what state the Lakers have been in, no matter how many wins or losses the team has leading up to the contest, the Lakers somehow have found a way to come up with a pair of borderline inexplicable wins against Utah this season.
Lakers vs Jazz: Prediction| Odds| line spread| 2022 NBA picks
Prediction:
Anthony Davis has played 17 minutes, all those coming in the second contest before he sustained his sprained foot. None of that has stopped the Lakers, though, as they’ve earned wins in each of the games regardless.
Hilariously, despite the Jazz being one of the best teams in the Western Conference as well as one of the most memeable, the Lakers continue to one-up them.
Odds:
But if they’re going to sweep the season series and win on Thursday, it would be their most impressive win yet. LeBron James and Anthony Davis neither are likely to be available.
Wenyen Gabriel could be added to that unavailable list, too. As shorthanded as they’ve been against Utah in the past, this is one is likely going to be on another level.
Line Spread:
Even if the Lakers aren’t coming in too hot right now, fresh off another beat down from the Mavericks, the Jazz aren’t coming in rolling either.
While the Lakers were blown out on Tuesday, the Jazz opted for a different type of debilitating loss by blowing a 25-point lead in Los Angeles to the Clippers, one of their new favorite traditions.
