Utah at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

The Jazz have collapsed. They dealt their best player to the Nets and have seen their long-time coach resign. It is a franchise in chaos, but the number here is simply an overlay. The Lakers have played very well, but a loss at home to Denver likely will prevent them from overtaking the Spurs for the top spot in the West, so I hardly see any motivation for a blowout here. The Lakers have a history of exactly that as a large chalk as they are a woeful 16-39 ATS in their last 55 when favored by 11 or more. Take Utah and the overlay.
