Result:
WIN

The Lakers come stumbling home off a two-game road trip where they fell short in both contests. It is hard to believe that a team consisting of Westbrook, Davis, and LeBron would be 26-31 at this stage of the season. The Lakers lost to Golden State by two points and have shown signs of coming out of a shooting slump. Utah at 36-21 is a tough opponent. They have been erratic of late following a 2-11 stretch with six straight wins. The Jazz however, won all six at home where they are historically tough playing in the altitude. They have been awful on the road where they are just 1-8 in their last nine including a loss in LA to this same Laker team. I think this one could go either way, and the points have risen since the opener, and I see value on LA. Make the play on the LA Lakers.
