Lakers News: Betting On Heavy Favorite LA Tonight Against Utah
Tonight, your Los Angeles Lakers will face off against a very, very injured Utah Jazz team (or also, you know, a tacitly tanking Danny Ainge team), and are heavily favored to vanquish Utah and improve to a season-most three games over .500, 41-38.
But will they? Let's take a look at some gambling odds and lines, via The Action Network.
The Game Spread
Los Angeles opened the day as mere 4.5-point favorites to win on the road in Utah tonight, but when news came out that three Jazz starters -- including the club's top two scorers and one of its best defenders -- would be sidelined today, LA's edge improved to 10 points. Let's root for a second straight blowout. Take the over.
Talen Horton Tucker's Total Points + Assists
The ex-Laker has looked shockingly competent of late, playing major minutes thanks to some major absences. Can he nab 27.5 combined points and assists against his old colleagues? I don't trust him to come up big here, take the under.
Anthony Davis's Total Points + Rebounds
AD is averaging 38.7 points and 11.7 rebounds a contest on the team's current five-game road trip. His listed over/under is 39.5 combined points and boards. He could get more than that in points alone, especially against a Jazz team that has clearly surrendered its 2022-23 season. Take the over.
