Utah defeated the Lakers 86-74 on Jan. 10 as Gordon Hayward scored 25 points and Kobe Bryant didn't play. The Lakers have lost five of their last six games, including 116-98 at Golden State on Thursday. Utah is trying to break a two-game losing streak after a 103-101 loss against Sacramento. Hayward had 21 points in that game as the shot just 42.2 percent from the field. Los Angeles is just 14-36-1 ATS their last 51 games against Western Conference teams while the Jazz has covered four of its last five home games. Bryant remains questionable for this game but it won't make much difference. Play the Jazz.
