1.80Tip and bets
The Lakers shouldn't have any problems. If the Clippers easily dealt with Utah, then the Lakers will do the same. Especially since the Jazzmen look very weak and are deservedly considered the main underdog of the West. We think that they won't succeed.
Our prediction is Lakers with a handicap of (-9.5) points at 1.73
Bet on total
The Lakers have been playing pretty well defensively lately. They're not likely to let a weakened Utah get going. This should be a low-scoring game.
Forecast - total under 238.5 points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
LeBron has scored less than 20 points in 3 of his last 5 games. We expect him to show a similar performance against Utah.
Prediction - LeBron James: Total over 19.5 points for 1.78
