Nationally televised tonight at 10 pm EST on TNT, the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz face-off for the first time this season, tipping off as the final game of the slate from Crypto.com arena.
The Jazz are 2-3 in their last 5 games played and the Lakers are 4-1 in that sam stretch, sitting at the 6th seed in the West (8-6) headed into tonight. This should be an entertaining affair as the Lakers seek to keep finding a groove and the Jazz play one of the more exciting free flow offensive brands in the game.
Here's my favorite parlay for the night, coming from this game specifically, cashing out at +380 odds at DraftKings.
LA Lakers Moneyline
Anthony Davis over 25.5 points
Lauri Markkanen over 23.5 points
Parlay Odds: +380 (DraftKings Sportsbook)
Leg 1: Lakers Moneyline
- Anthony Davis is probable to play
- Los Angeles has been fairly middling on offense, but Utah has been dreadful defensively, allowing 119.1 points per 100 possessions in November (25th)
- Utah is competitive, but this is a game I expect the Lakers to come out and look to dominate; they need these early wins banked.
Leg 2: Anthony Davis over 25.5 points
- Utah is 20th in the league in defensive field goal percentage at the rim (opposition shoots 67.6% there)
- Both teams are above average in pace: More possessions means more opportunities for points to be scored
- Utah is 24th in the league in free throw to field goal attempt rate: AKA, they foul very often, which means more easy points
Leg 3: Lauri Markkanen over 23.5 points
- Markkanen has scored less than 21 points just 3 times this season
- Markkanen is averaging 26 points per game over his last 5 games played
- While the Lakers are very good at shutting down the paint, they are susceptible to players that can capitalize off of off-ball actions shooting above the break (where they're most willing to give up open or lightly contested shots) and Markkanen is 40% on above the break threes on very high volume this season
Jazz vs Lakers Single Game Parlay Prediction
- Lakers Moneyline
- Anthony Davis over 25.5 points
- Lauri Markkanen over 23.5 points
