NBA Betting Preview: Jazz vs Lakers

The Utah Jazz face the LA Lakers on the final day of the NBA regular season. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, player stats, team news and confirmed starting lineups.

Back Lakers to Run Riot

We’re predicting a one-sided affair when the Lakers and the Jazz take to the court. Take this selection at -105 to cover a generous -15 line on the spread.

Lakers Chasing No. 3 Seed

The Utah Jazz are out of playoff contention and have nothing left to play for, while the Los Angeles Lakers head into the regular-season finale sitting fourth in the Western Conference with a chance to move up to third.

A win combined with a Nuggets loss would see the Lakers climb to the No. 3 seed, while a defeat would lock them into fourth.

The Jazz have suffered nine consecutive road losses. In their previous game, they enjoyed a 147-101 home triumph against Memphis Grizzlies at Delta Center. Bez Mbeng delivered an outstanding performance when registering a triple-double that consisted of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Lakers made it back-to-back wins in their last game. Securing a 101-73 home victory against Phoenix Suns at Crypto.com Arena. LeBron James racked up 28 points and 12 assists, while Luke Kennard scored 19 points and Rui Hachimura 13.

Head-to-Head Statistics

It was the Lakers who came out on top when they last played the Jazz. At Delta Center, a 143-135 win was recorded. It’s been three victories on the bounce for the Lakers when playing the Jazz. On the head-to-head front, they have won 8 of the past 10.
