Lakers at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 129, Jazz 125

Moneyline

The LAKERS (+176) are worth a roll of the dice for the chance to nearly double up.

Los Angeles has won 5 of the past 6 games, and while F LeBron James and C Anthony Davis carried questionable tags into Tuesday's game with the Pistons, they do not appear on the report for Wednesday.

The concern with backing the Lakers is the fact they lost in SLC Jan. 13 and just played last night. On no rest, the Lakers are just 2-6 in the past 8 tries, so go lightly.

Against the spread

The LAKERS +5.5 (-112) have cashed in 2 of the past 4 tries when playing on no rest, but there is concern with Los Angeles going 2-7 ATS in 9 contests on the 2nd end of a back-to-back this season.

Still, the Jazz -5.5 (-108) are just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games, including 2-3 ATS in the past 5 tries at home.

Over/Under

OVER 240.5 (-110) is the lean in this battle in Utah's capital city.

While the Under has a 4-2 edge in the past 6 games for the Lakers, the Over has cashed in 6 straight for Los Angeles when playing with no rest.

The Over has hit in 8 of the past 12 games for the Jazz, who saw 257 combined points with a total of 238.5 in the most recent meeting with the Lakers at Delta Center.
