Advice and prediction
The Lakers may be starting to figure things out after a five-game losing streak to start the season. In their last three games, they have made strong runs to end the second quarter, and their point production has picked up, as they’ve put up 121 and 111 points in regulation in their last two contests.
Utah is a decent 10th in defensive rating, but many feel its success so far this season is at least somewhat a mirage.
We feel the Lakers will come out of this game with another victory, so we would recommend picking them to cover the spread.
Prediction: Lakers 114, Jazz 107
