Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers odds, starters, injury reports, predictions,
The Utah Jazz have done little to inspire confidence on a basketball court lately. At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers have done little to inspire anything all season.
The Jazz (45-31) are on a five game losing streak, but they’ve still enjoyed a far better season than the Lakers (31-44). While some had a feeling this Lakers group would struggle to gel, few could have predicted that they’d find themselves on the fringe of the play-in picture at this point in the NBA season.
Life in the NBA is nothing if not unpredictable.
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Odds Tonight
According to WynnBet, the Jazz are 12.5 point favorites to win this contest, and -800 point favorites on the money line. The Lakers are +550 money line underdogs.

Utah Jazz Injury Report
As it stands, only Trent Forrest is listed on Utah’s injury report. With that said, Rudy Gobert was a late scratch in their last contest, and the statuses of Bojan Bogdanovic and Hassan Whiteside are both unclear.
Utah Jazz Starting Lineup
Barring any last minute changes, Quin Snyder should be able to roll out his usual starting lineup of Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Royce O’Neale and Rudy Gobert tonight.
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
A significant, unknown factor makes predicting this game a fool’s errand: LeBron James’ availability.
He missed the team’s last contest against Dallas with an ankle injury. If he’s unavailable, the Jazz should be able to pull this one out.
By now, we’re defaulting to pessimism until the Jazz give us a reason not to. Assuming LeBron is available, we expect a Lakers win tonight.
Given WynnBet’s odds in this one, you might want to go place a bet if you trust our judgment.
Prediction: Lakers 118, Jazz 109
