Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NBA match.
After a poor start, the Utah Jazz have gradually begun to steady themselves and pick up wins. They now begin another road stretch in which they need to maintain their competitive mentality.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers return home after a five-game road trip in which they won three games. This is largely down to the excellent work of JJ Redick’s coaching staff on the offence. The squad rank second in the league in field-goal percentage (50.4). In addition, their leader Luka Dončić is the top scorer in the NBA, averaging 34.4 points per game.
Utah Jazz
Lately the Utah Jazz can safely be described as one of the most high-scoring and open teams in the league. In two of their last three games, they have scored at least 150 points, but they concede heavily too. They are among the three worst sides in the league in points allowed, giving up an average of 123.7 points. Over the last five games, this figure has risen to 132.8.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Utah Jazz's recent games have consistently been high-scoring. They will certainly put up their points, but the visitors have little chance of containing one of the best offences in the league. Backing the over looks like the best option.
