Get a recap of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz basketball game.
“We have to stay in the fight and we have to give ourselves a chance. … The Jazz, who aim to get up 40-plus 3-point attempts a game, made 15 of 44 from beyond the arc. If we’re able to get into the play-in game at full strength, we know we got a shot. The Jazz were able to get into transition and outscored Los Angeles 14-2 on fast breaks. … The Lakers went 34 for 58 from 2-point range. “It’s great to have them back, just having that presence on the court … for spacing. “That takes out the finger-pointing if you hold yourself accountable.” “The negativity and the losses and all that pressure was more external, but it was not an ideal time to have a five-game losing streak. But, the Lakers couldn’t consistently get enough stops to make it interesting. I just wanted to get my body and my mind prepared for tonight. Just a little bit hurt about not winning the game,” Howard said. But, the Lakers stayed within striking distance until Gobert slammed down Mitchell’s miss to make it 120-104 with 2:54 to play.
The Los Angeles Lakers play the Utah Jazz on Thursday, and if you're wondering how you can watch the action live, you've come to the right place.
Bojan Bogdanovic (left calf strain) and Danuel House Jr. (left knee bone bruise) are questionable. Anthony Davis (right mid-foot sprain) is doubtful. They have stepped back into 10th place in the Western Conference thanks to a loss by the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
We go over some of the best betting options for Thursday's matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz.
It’s been hard to trust the Jazz as of late but the principal of fading this Lakers team remains in effect for tonight. Los Angeles (31-44) has dropped three straight and is currently clinging on to the final play-in tournament spot as the 10th seed in the west. The Jazz blew a 25-point lead to the Clippers on Tuesday night, ultimately falling in a 121-115 defeat.
The Lakers play the Jazz on Thursday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a prediction, odds and a pick.
Out of the last three times Utah entered the game as a comparable favorite, they failed to cover it twice. The Lakers are similar, as shown by their 52% winning percentage at home and their 29% winning percentage on the road. This is a huge spread for any team to cover, including the Jazz. The last three times the Lakers have faced a spread this size, they’ve managed to cover twice. The Lakers also have far more to play for here, as the Jazz have essentially locked up a postseason spot. Utah has lost each of their last five games, including bad losses to the Charlotte Hornets and the Los Angeles Clippers. Momentum is a proven factor in basketball, and the Jazz enter this game with absolutely zero momentum. The Lakers are finishing up one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history, but they still have a shot to make the play-in tournament.
