The Utah Jazz (42-14) visit the Los Angeles Lakers (34-22) at Staples Center at 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jazz-Lakers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Jazz are looking for a third straight victory, posting wins by eight or more points against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers in their most recent games.
Utah enters on an 0-3 against the spread skid, however, and they’re just 3-7 ATS across the past 10.
The Lakers are looking to rebound after a 121-113 loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Thursday. L.A. has alternated wins and losses in each of the past 10 games, going 5-5 ATS during the stretch.
One thing that has been consistent lately for the Lake Show is the Over, cashing in five of the past six outings.

Jazz at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Jazz 119, Lakers 108
Money line (ML)
The Jazz (-300) will cost you three times your potential return, and that’s risky business on the road against the defending champs. Over the long haul you’ll lose plenty of these and find yourself in the red.
PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
The JAZZ -7 (-110) remain without their two biggest stars, A.D. and LeBron, and they’ll be hard-pressed to keep it within four buckets. The big news for the visitors is the health of Donovan Mitchell. If he cannot play, this wager is less attractive.
The Jazz beat the Lakers 114-89 on Feb. 24 in Salt Lake City in a game LeBron was able to play.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 216.5 (-110) is attainable for Over bettors, with or without Mitchell in the lineup. The Lakers coughed up 121 points last time out, and they have registered Over results in five of the past six outings. You can expect another one here.
